Drought is one of the major natural hazards that bring about billions of dollars in loss to the
farming community around the world each year. Drought is most often caused by a …

The existing drought monitoring mechanisms in the sub-Saharan Africa region mostly
depend on the conventional methods of drought monitoring. These methods have limitations …

In this paper, progressive methods for assessing drought severity from diverse points of view
were conceived. To select a fundamental drought index, the performances of the Effective …

Several drought indices are available to compute the degree of drought to which crops are
exposed. They vary in complexity, generality, and the adequacy with which they represent …

Soil moisture is an important hydrologic variable that controls various land surface
processes. In spite of itsimportance to agriculture and drought monitoring, soil moisture …

The Pampas region has recently experienced an expansion of agriculture towards more
fragile environments, which has been associated with an increase in the frequency of …

Multiscale Hydrologic Remote Sensing: Perspectives and Applications integrates advances
in hydrologic science and innovative remote sensing technologies. Raising the visibility of …

Abstract Droughts in the East Asian region (105–150° E, 20–50° N) are quantified using the
effective drought index (EDI) over a period of 43 years, from 1962 to 2004, and the East …

The spatial resolution of input rainfall data affects hydrologic model response and accuracy.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of spatial rainfall aggregation on …

Prediction accuracy of physically based hydrologic models largely depends on how well the
models and input data represent the real world in terms of precipitation, topography, soils …
