15 Drought Definition and Indicators Different drought indices based on different climate variables (e.g., Precipitation, soil moisture): Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Standardized Soil Moisture Index (SSI) Standardized runoff Index (SRI) Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) Precipitation (D-Scale) Jan 2012 Soil Moisture (D-Scale) Jan 2012

16 Multi-Index Drought Monitoring Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) pspi P( X x) SPI 1 pspi Standardized Soil moisture Index (SSI) pssi 1 P( Y y) SSI pssi Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI) pmsdi P( X x, Y y) MSDI (Hao and AghaKouchak, 2013): Standardized index similar to SPI Improves drought onset detection A multi-index for composite meteorological -agricultural drought monitoring MSDI 1 pmsdi Where: X: accumulated precipitation; Y: accumulated soil moisture; φ: standard normal distribution

17 Multi-Index Drought Monitoring Sample time series of the 6-month SPI, SSI and MSDI for a grid cell in Texas (Location: longitude 100 W and latitude 30 N).

23 9-18 Months Real-Time 1-, 6-Month Forecast GIDMaPS: Global Integrated Drought Monitoring and Prediction System Prediction component is based on a drought persistence model which requires historical observations. The seasonal drought prediction component is based on two input data sets (MERRA and NLDAS) and three drought indicators (SPI, SSI and MSDI).

26 Integration of AIRS Data into GIDMaPS Precipitation (MERRA) Soil Moisture (MERRA) Relative Humidity (AIRS Data)

27 Integration of AIRS Data into GIDMaPS Precipitation (MERRA) Soil Moisture (MERRA) Relative Humidity (AIRS Data)

28 Integration of AIRS Data into GIDMaPS Precipitation (MERRA) Soil Moisture (MERRA) Relative Humidity (AIRS Data)

29 Integration of AIRS Data into GIDMaPS

30 Integration of AIRS Data into GIDMaPS

31 Integration of AIRS Data into GIDMaPS Probability of drought detection (i.e., fraction of detected drought) when Drought Onset (DO) based on SRHI is less or equal to that of SPI (a), mean lead time based on SRHI relative to SPI (months)(b).

32 Summary GIDMaPS provides both monitoring and prediction capabilities based on multiple data sets and drought indicators. MSDI leads to a composite product based on the joint distribution of precipitation and soil moisture. It can be used for multi-index drought assessment. Real-time PERSIANN Precipitation data sets can be used for near real-time drought monitoring and improving initial conditions for drought prediction. PERSIANN-CDR data offers daily long-term data sets that can be used for drought monitoring and assessment. There are opportunities to integrate the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) relative humidity data into GIDMaPS to improve drought early detection.
