This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

This work examines 140 hydrological studies conducted in the Mediterranean region. It
identifies key characteristics of the hydrological responses of Mediterranean catchments at …

In this study we analyzed the sensitivity of four drought indices to precipitation (P) and
reference evapotranspiration (ETo) inputs. The four drought indices are the Palmer Drought …

We analysed long‐term variability and trends in meteorological droughts across Western
Europe using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). Precipitation data from 199 stations …

We analyse the expected characteristics of drought events in northern Italy for baseline
(1971–2000), near (2021–2050), and far (2071–2100) future conditions, estimating the …

Attribution of trends in streamflow is complex, but essential, in identifying optimal
management options for water resources. Disagreement remains on the relative role of …

This article developed and implemented a new methodology for calculating the
standardized evapotranspiration deficit index (SEDI) globally based on the log-logistic …

Flash droughts are characterized by rapid onset and intensification, as well as major
environmental and agricultural impacts. In this study, we developed an objective method for …

Droughts can cause significant damage to agriculture and water resources leading to severe
economic losses. One of the most important aspects of drought management is to develop …

Abstract Changes in precipitation (P), evapotranspiration (ET) and, implicitly, in the climatic
water balance (CWB), are imminent effects of climate warming. However, changes in the …
