Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Climatology"
DOI: 10.1002/joc.6210
Abstract: The assessment of drought characteristics often depends on drought indices, geographic location, hydro‐climatic condition, and timescale. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal characteristics of drought events using the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and… read more here.
