TLDR
The most damaging environmental disasters that may have destructive damages on societal properties and lives are those that occur when water resources are severely depleting as mentioned in this paper, and generally, socioeconomic drought occurs when water resource depletion occurs.
Abstract
Droughts are among the most damaging environmental disasters that may have destructive damages on societal properties and lives. Generally, socio-economic drought occurs when water resource...

An Empirical Seasonal Prediction Model of the East Asian Summer Monsoon Using ENSO and NAO

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical model is established to predict the EASM strength by combination of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and spring NAO, which shows a hindcast prediction skill that is comparable to the 14 state-of-the-art multimodel ensemble hindcast.

The relationship of drought frequency and duration to time scales

TL;DR: The definition of drought has continually been a stumbling block for drought monitoring and analysis as mentioned in this paper, mainly related to the time period over which deficits accumulate and to the connection of the deficit in precipitation to deficits in usable water sources and the impacts that ensue.

Rank correlation methods

TL;DR: The measurement of rank correlation was introduced in this paper, and rank correlation tied ranks tests of significance were applied to the problem of m ranking, and variate values were used to measure rank correlation.

A Multiscalar Drought Index Sensitive to Global Warming: The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index

TL;DR: In this article, a new climatic drought index, the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), is proposed, which combines multiscalar character with the capacity to include the effects of temperature variability on drought assessment.

Application of the cross wavelet transform and wavelet coherence to geophysical time series

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how phase angle statistics can be used to gain confidence in causal relation- ships and test mechanistic models of physical relationships between the time series and Monte Carlo methods are used to assess the statistical significance against red noise backgrounds.
