Future global drought conditions in terms of the Palmer drought indices
Original language description
We use two Palmer Drought Indices (the PDSI and Z-index) to assess the drought conditions in future climates as projected by seven Global Climate Models (GCMs). Both indices are based on a soil moisture/water balance model, which use (as an input) precipitation and temperature series and available soil water content (single parameter); this makes these indices more suitable for climate change impact studies compared to the Standardized Precipitation Index, which is based only on precipitation. In contrast to the PDSI, the Z-index does not account for any persistence within the climate; rather, it characterizes the immediate (for a given week or month) conditions.
