Drought prediction is of critical importance to early warning for drought managements. This
review provides a synthesis of drought prediction based on statistical, dynamical, and hybrid …

The standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was developed in 2010 and
has been used in an increasing number of climatology and hydrology studies. The objective …

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

Understanding the multi-scale variation of drought is essentially important in drought
assessment. Now, a comprehensive assessment is still lacking on the meteorological …

The capability of seasonal forecasting of global drought onset at local scales (1°) has been
investigated using multiple climate models with 110 realizations. Climate models increase …

North Korea is a food-deficit nation in which climate change could have a significant impact
on drought. We analyzed drought characteristics in the Hwanghae Plain, North Korea using …

Abstract Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) and, its variant, Standard Precipitation and
Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) are among the most commonly used drought assessment …

Seasonal Forecasting of Global Hydrologic Extremes: System Development and Evaluation

Downscaling rainfall in an arid region is much challenging compared to wet region due to
erratic and infrequent behaviour of rainfall in the arid region. The complexity is further …

Based on the principles underlying the calculation of the standardized precipitation index
(SPI) and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), this study selects …
