Drought is a stochastic natural hazard that is instigated by intense and persistent shortage of
precipitation. Following an initial meteorological phenomenon, subsequent impacts are …

There are numerous drought indicators used by decision makers all around the globe which
have been developed to fulfill specific needs. By far, risks associated with drought and …

Drought prediction is an important subject, particularly in drought-hydrology, and has a key
role in risk management, drought readiness and alleviation. Hydrological time series data …

In the context of climate change characterized by rising temperature and more extreme
precipitation regimes, drought is one of the most relevant natural disasters. This paper …

Long-term drought forecasts can provide valuable information to help mitigate some of the
consequences of drought. Data driven models are suitable forecast tools due to their …

Drought is a complex phenomenon which can be characterised mainly by its severity,
duration and areal extent. Among these three dimensions, drought severity is the key factor …

Drought indices are used to monitor drought conditions of a region. Various drought indices
(DIs) have been proposed in past few decades, but some of those are region specific and …

A variety of indices for characterising hydrological drought have been devised which, in
general, are data demanding and computationally intensive. On the contrary, for …

A new general drought index is proposed for the assessment of meteorological drought
severity. The new index called Reconnaissance Drought Index, RDI, is based on cumulative …

This study aims to model the joint drought duration and severity distribution using two-
dimensional copulas. The method of inference function for margins (IFM method) is …
