DOI: 10.1002/joc.7275
Abstract: The Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI), based on atmospheric evaporative demand, was proposed by Hobbins et al. (2016) to analyse and monitor drought. The EDDI uses a nonparametric approach in which empirically derived probabilities are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/met.2216
Abstract: Currently, there are three main shortcomings in meteorological drought indices: first, they rely on historical climate probability functions; second, the timescale used in calculations has a certain degree of subjectivity; third, the same index value… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00704-017-2315-2
Abstract: Meteorological drought indices associated with soil moisture status have potential for varying applications including predictive power for crop yields estimation. The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) was initially developed to estimate forest flammability, based on quantification… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11269-017-1869-1
Abstract: The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites have been used in drought/flood monitoring by observing terrestrial water storage (TWS) change. Meteorological drought indicators or other identified disaster information were usually adopted in association with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41597-025-06320-x
Abstract: High-resolution drought index datasets are essential for drought monitoring and assessment. Despite numerous global/regional drought index datasets, the composite drought index datasets that comprehensively consider meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological factors are still very few, thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/16742834.2018.1483695
Abstract: ABSTRACT A well-established and pre-calibrated crop model can normally represent the overall characteristics of crop growth and yield. However, it can hardly include all relevant factors that affect the yield, and usually overestimates the crop… read more here.
