Environmental pollution, increasing CO2 atmospheric levels and the greenhouse effect are
closely associated with the ongoing climate change and the extreme climatic events we are …

Drought assessment is crucial to mitigate its adverse impact, especially in India, where risk
is more due to an increase in population and climate change. However, most of the studies …

The frequency of hydrological extremes (droughts and floods) has increased in recent years
in India. A dense population, intensive agriculture, and rapidly develo** physical …

To characterize future drought events over a drought prone area like South Asia is
paramount for drought risk mitigation. In this paper, a five-model ensemble mean from …

Urbanization has become a prominent anthropogenic activity globally, resulting in the
substantial modification of temperature and rainfall in and around urban areas. Studies also …

The impacts of concurrent droughts and heatwaves could be more serious compared to their
individual occurrence. Meteorological drought condition is generally characterized by low …

In drought-prone regions like Central Asia, drought monitoring studies are paramount to
provide valuable information for drought risk mitigation. In this paper, the spatiotemporal …

The monthly standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) can be used to
monitor and assess drought characteristics with 1-month or longer drought duration. Based …

Assessment of the influence of climate variables on drought characteristics is important for
adaption to changing pattern of droughts due to climate change. The objective of this study …

Global warming accelerates water cycle, causing more droughts globally that challenge
monitoring and forecasting. The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) …
