New Method for Assessment of the Drought Climatology - Czech Republic as a Case Study
Result description
The study presents methodology for the analysis of drought climatology within a particular region that enables the definition of drought areas with high spatial resolution. The approach also allows quantifying relative intensity of drought spells, theirfrequency and length between individual stations or the predefined regional climatological threshold. As part of the drought climatology assessment the study also describes the existing trends in drought spell occurrence in the Central Europe during thesecond half of 20th century. In addition it provides results of regionalization of climatological stations according to the drought climatology. The methods of drought assessment rely Standardized precipitation index (SPI) at various time scales, Palmerdrought severity index (PDSI) and Palmer Z-index (ZIND) that were significantly modified to suit climatological purposes. Combination of these indices was then used to derive Climatological Drought Indicator (CDI) that provides more robus
