| description abstract | For evaluating the severity of drought in a certain month, two indexes of cumulative precipitation deficit (CPD) and maximum precipitation deficit (MPD) are used such that a regional frequency analysis has been carried out by L-moments. These measures of drought are strongly related to moisture deficits for the vegetation during the growing season. In this paper, 11 synoptic stations in Isfahan province, Iran, with a semiarid environment are used. The stations have a minimum of 10 years of data. The two drought indexes are calculated for all of them in whole months. The WeatherMan tool is used for completing missing data. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Penman-Monteith (FAO-PM) method is used for calculating reference evapotranspiration [ | |
