How is Flash Drought Understood?—Experts’ Definitions and Decision-Makers’ Perceptions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Using Temporal Changes in Drought Indices to Generate Probabilistic Drought Intensification Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the potential utility of using rapid temporal changes in drought indices to provide early warning of an elevated risk for drought development over subseasonal time scales is assessed. Standardized change ...
Examining the Relationship between Drought Development and Rapid Changes in the Evaporative Stress Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the ability of a new drought metric based on thermal infrared remote sensing imagery to provide early warning of an elevated risk for drought intensification is assessed. This new metric, called the rapid ...

Predicting US Drought Monitor (USDM) States using Precipitation, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration Anomalies, Part I: Development of a Non-Discrete USDM Index.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) classifies drought into five discrete dryness/drought categories based on expert synthesis of numerous data sources. In this study, an empirical methodology is presented for creating a ...
Predicting the US Drought Monitor (USDM) using Precipitation, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration Anomalies, Part II: Intraseasonal Drought Intensification Forecasts.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: robabilistic forecasts of US Drought Monitor (USDM) intensification over two, four and eight week time periods are developed based on recent anomalies in precipitation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture. These statistical ...
Monitoring the 1996 Drought Using the Standardized Precipitation Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Droughts are difficult to detect and monitor. Drought indices, most commonly the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), have been used with limited success as operational drought monitoring tools and triggers for policy ...
