Impact of Climate Change Parameters on Groundwater Level: Implications for Two Subsidence Regions in Iran Using Geodetic Observations and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)

Saeid Haji-Aghajany et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of meteorological indicators on groundwater resources and predicts groundwater levels in regions experiencing drought and subsidence. Precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration, and precipitable water vapor (PWV) are important parameters for predicting groundwater levels. Two subsidence areas with different weather conditions were selected for a comprehensive study on the influence of temperature and precipitation on groundwater level changes. The exact locations of the areas were determined using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) images and the meteorological parameters were downscaled using statistical models. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to predict groundwater level changes based on meteorological data, including GPS-based PWV and evapotranspiration index. The results showed a high-performance prediction algorithm and emphasized the importance of including PWV and evapotranspiration in groundwater level predictions.

Function-Based Troposphere Tomography Technique for Optimal Downscaling of Precipitation

Saeid Haji-Aghajany et al.

Summary: Precipitation is a significant meteorological indicator that has a direct impact on human health and crucial aspects of life. Scaling methods are required to monitor variations in this parameter at both global and local levels. Research shows that using function-based tropospheric tomography techniques can greatly enhance the accuracy of the scaling process.

Drought Assessment in the Aegean Region of Turkey

Denizhan Mersin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the drought characteristics in Buyuk Menderes, Kucuk Menderes, and Gediz basins located in the Aegean region of Turkey, using long-term precipitation and temperature records. The results show that the droughts in the 1980s and 2010s were more severe than in other historical periods. The SPI and SPEI indices did not yield the same results when moving averages were applied, while the DPI and PNI indices showed the highest resemblance.

SPEI-based spatial and temporal evaluation of drought in Somalia

Sylus Kipngeno Musei et al.

Summary: Somalia is one of the most drought-prone countries, and this study evaluated spatio-temporal variations of drought occurrences in Somalia from 1980 to 2015 using SPEI. The study found decreasing severity and increasing duration of droughts, with higher occurrence in the southern parts of the country and an average drought duration of 2-3 months for most locations.

Discrepancy precipitation index for monitoring meteorological drought

Gokmen Tayfur

Summary: The study developed a new drought index called the Discrepancy Precipitation Index (DPI), which does not impose any probability distribution on the precipitation data in semi-arid and arid regions. The results show that DPI is a more representative drought assessment tool for arid climate regions.

Relationship between Drought and Precipitation Heterogeneity: An Analysis across Rain-Fed Agricultural Regions in Eastern Gansu, China

Suping Wang et al.

Summary: Analysis of meteorological data from 55 stations in eastern Gansu from 1960 to 2017 revealed that there are 1-3 drought processes annually, with droughts mainly manifested as intra-seasonal droughts. The intensity of drought is influenced by precipitation concentration degree (PCD) and precipitation concentration period (PCP), with implications for predicting and diagnosing seasonal drought.

Wavelet Packet-Genetic Programming: A New Model for Meteorological Drought Hindcasting

Ali Danandeh Mehr et al.

Summary: This study developed a new hybrid model WPGP for short-term meteorological drought forecast, which combines wavelet packet decomposition with genetic programming to improve predictive accuracy. The results showed that WPGP is a robust model, superior to other common predictive models such as AR1 and RF.

Application of Signal Processing in Tracking Meteorological Drought in a Mountainous Region

Babak Vaheddoost et al.

Summary: This study applies signal processing techniques to evaluate meteorological drought associated with monthly precipitation in the Mount Uludag region in Turkey. Various drought indices and a Haar wavelet decomposition are utilized to analyze the data, revealing that recent drought events have influenced the patterns of large-scale events.

Impact of precipitation and increasing temperatures on drought trends in eastern Africa

Sarah F. Kew et al.

Summary: The study shows that precipitation is the most important factor influencing soil moisture variability in eastern Africa, while temperature and evaporative demand have a weak relationship with soil moisture. Although trends in temperature and evaporative demand are generally positive, the impact of increasing local temperatures on agricultural drought in eastern Africa is limited. It is recommended that any analysis of soil moisture be supplemented by an analysis of precipitation deficit for a more comprehensive understanding.
