Estimating the water needed to end the drought or reduce the drought severity in the Carpathian region
(Copernicus Publications, 2015-01)
A drought severity climatology for the Carpathian region has been produced using the self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (Sc-PDSI) for the period 1961-2010. Using the Sc-PDSI and the assumptions of the Palmer ...
