Detrending crop yield data for spatial visualization of drought impacts in the United States, 1895–2014 (2017, background): “Introduction Drought is a devastating, recurring, and widespread natural hazard that affects natural habitats, ecosystems, and economic and social sectors, such as agriculture, transportation, industry, and urban water supply (Heim, 2002).”
Copula-based risk assessment of drought in Yunnan province, China (2015, background): “are sudden, droughts, as a creeping phenomenon, usually extend over a season or longer time periods, which have devastating effect on natural habitats, ecosystems and many economic and social sectors including agriculture, urban water supply and the modern complex industries (Heim 2002; Zhang et al.”
Revisiting the probabilistic definition of drought: strengths, limitations and an agrometeorological adaptation (2012, background): “In fact, as many other natural hazards droughts events have plagued the civilization over the time (Heim Jr., 2002). However, in comparison to other phenomena such as floods and earthquakes, the aforementioned hazard is perhaps the most difficult to define. As described in Wilhite (2000) the great n”
A generalized framework for deriving nonparametric standardized drought indicators (2015, background): “precipitation detects the drought onset earlier, while soil moisture describes the drought persistence more reliably (see also, [18,27]).”
Estimation of Soil Moisture from Optical and Thermal Remote Sensing: A Review (2016, methodology): “A detailed overview of the drought indices for regional monitoring was provided by Richard and Heim [99].”
Meteorological Drought Analysis in the Lower Mekong Basin Using Satellite-Based Long-Term CHIRPS Product (2017, background): “Droughts can be broadly divided into four types: (a) meteorological; (b) agricultural; (c) hydrological; and (d) socioeconomic [2,4].”
Comparison between Parametric and Nonparametric Approaches for the Calculation of Two Drought Indices: SPI and SSI (2014, background): “Comprehensive lists of drought indices are reported in the following review papers: Heim (2002), Mishra and Singh (2010), and Dai (2011).”
