THE RELATIONSHIP OF DROUGHT FREQUENCY AND DURATION TO TIME SCALES
1.0 INTRODUCTION Five practical issues become important in any analysis of drought. These include: 1) time scale, 2) probability, 3) precipitation deficit, 4) application of the...
Temperature sensitivity of drought-induced tree mortality portends increased regional die-off under global-change-type drought
Large-scale biogeographical shifts in vegetation are predicted in response to the altered precipitation and temperature regimes associated with global climate change. Vegetation...
The Quantification of Drought: An Evaluation of Drought Indices
Indices for objectively quantifying the severity of meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological forms of drought are discussed. Indices for each drought form are judged accor...
