Global maps of monthly self‐calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (scPDSI) have been
calculated for the period 1901–2009 based on the CRU TS 3.10. 01 data sets. This work …

The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) has been widely used to study aridity changes in
modern and past climates. Efforts to address its major problems have led to new variants of …

Accepting the concept of standardization introduced by the standardized precipitation index,
similar methodologies have been developed to construct some other standardized drought …

How drought may change in the future are of great concern as global warming continues. In
Part I of this study, we examine the uncertainties in estimating recent drought changes …

Meteorological drought in the Hadley Centre global climate model is assessed using the
Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), a commonly used drought index. At interannual time …

Anthropogenic warming has been projected to increase global drought for the 21st century
when calculated using traditional offline drought indices. However, this contradicts …

A monthly global dataset of a multiscalar drought index is presented and compared in terms
of spatial and temporal variability with the existing continental and global drought datasets …

The authors propose a new climatic drought index: the standardized precipitation
evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The SPEI is based on precipitation and temperature data …

In this study we analyze drought features at the European level over the period 1901–2019
using three drought indices: the standardized precipitation index (SPI), the standardized …

While the method for estimating the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is now more
closely aligned to key water balance components, a comprehensive assessment for …
