How Realistic Are the Reported Drying Trends in the Central Europe during 20th Century?
Original language description
The series of recent studies by several teams used Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) or its component (Z-index) to assess drought trends across Central Europe. Most of the papers indicated that during second half of the 20th increasing frequency, severity and/or duration of negative soil moisture anomalies in the Central European region. In case of the Czech Republic we reported steady increase of the drought intensity and proportion of months/weeks in the drought episode with the time using both PDSI and Z-index in past 130 years. We also found that the soil moisture anomalies (expressed in terms of ZIND (weekly) and PDSI (time scale up to 12 months) during 1976-2005 exhibit significantly different distribution characteristics compared to the period 1876-1905 or 1901-1930. As the calculation of PDSI and Z-index is based on Thornthwaite method, it is obvious that the trends in soil moisture anomalies are driven by increased ambient temperature as there has been no significant change
