The magnitude and causes of global drought changes in the twenty-first century under a low-moderate emission scenario
Zhao, T.Dai, A.
Atmospheric demand for moisture and dry days are expected to increase, leading to drying over land in the twenty-first century. Here, the magnitude an...
Regional vegetation die-off in response to global-change-type drought
Breshears, D. D.Cobb, N. S.Rich, P. M.Price, K. P.ETC
Future drought is projected to occur under warmer temperature conditions as climate change progresses, referred to here as global-change-type drought,...
Global warming and changes in drought. Nature Climate Change
TrenBerth, K. E.Dai, A.van der Schrier, G.Jones P. D.Barichivich J.Briffa, K. R.Sheffield, J.
Several recently published studies have produced apparently conflicting results of how drought is changing under climate change. The reason is thought...
A multiscalar drought index sensitive to global warming: The standard precipitation evapotranspiration index
Vicente-Serrano, S.Begueria, S.Lopez-Moreno, J. I.
The authors propose a new climatic drought index: the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The SPEI is based on precipitation a...
This study examines the impact of greenhouse gas warming on soil moisture based on predictions of 15 global climate models by comparing the after-stab...
The present paper would focus on lessons that have been learnt through field trips carried out in southern Vietnam and numerical analysis that will sh...
Increase in port downtime and damage in Vietnam due to a potential increase in tropical cyclone intensity
M EstebanND ThaoH Takagi
It is currently feared that the increase in surface sea temperature resulting from increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could resul...

On 8 November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan impacted the Philippines with estimated winds of approximately 314 km h-1 and an associated 5–7-m-high storm surg...
he GPCC Drought Index – a new, combined and gridded drought index
M. ZieseU. SchneiderA. Meyer-ChrisofferK. SchammJ. VidoP. FingerP. BissolliS. PietzschA.Becker
The Global Precipitation Climatology Centre Drought Index (GPCC-DI) provides estimations of water supply anomalies with respect to long-term statistic...
Indices for objectively quantifying the severity of meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological forms of drought are discussed. Indices for each dr...
Rapid assessment of crop status: An application of MODIS and SAR data to rice areas in Leyte, Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan
M BoschettiA NelsonF NutiniG ManfronL Busetto
Asian countries strongly depend on rice production for food security. The major rice-growing season (June to October) is highly exposed to the risk of...
A Remotely Sensed Global Terrestrial Drought Severity Index
Mu, Q.Zhao, M.Kimball, J. S.McDowell, N. G.Running, S. W.
Regional drought and flooding from extreme climatic events are increasing in frequency and severity, with significant adverse ecosocial impacts. Detec...
New technology has changed the face of global reporting. Digital technology has given citizens the capacity to report from restricted frontlines that ...
