Application of Drought Indices to Assess Drought Conditions in Changed Climate
Original language description
AB: Drought conditions are commonly assessed using the drought indices. Of these, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) are the most frequent. In addition to SPI (1 to 24 months aggregation) and PDSI, theZ index is also used in the Czech Republic. It is closely related to PDSI but does not account for the persistence; rather, it characterizes the immediate (for a given week or month) conditions. While the SPI is based solely on precipitation data, the PDSI and Z indices are based on precipitation and temperature data and on the available water content of the soil. For climate change impact studies, we consider PDSI and Z to be better indicators as they account for the changes in both temperature and precipitation. The three indices are calculated by programs available from the National Drought Mitigation Center and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, both located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
