Projection of future drought conditions in Europe and N. America using the relative drought indices and multiple GCMs
Original language description
Various drought indices are commonly used to assess drought conditions. In addition to the 1-month and 12-months Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), the present contribution employs Z index, which is closely related to PDSI but does not account for the persistence - it rather 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 computer programs available from the National Drought Mitigation Center and Computer Science and Engineering, both located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. To allow assessment of the climate change impacts, we made the modification of the
