Palmer Drought Index

a wide variety of natural disasters including drought, wild fires, mudslides, and various other impactful disasters. The biggest one that California encountered over time and time again is the droughts they get from various weather influences. The definition of a drought extends across various definitions, but the main one is described as “A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall; a shortage of water resulting from this.” Definitions on drought do vary depending on the location and factors…

and increasing concentration of greenhouse gases. Moreover, it is noticed that these changes may strongly affect atmospheric water vapor concentrations, precipitation, runoff and stream flow patterns. Climate change raises the risk of both extreme droughts and heavy rains. Science has demonstrated that climate change touches each side of our planet’s ecosystem and the water cycle is also a part of ecosystem. As the processes involved are profoundly reliant on temperature, changes in one have…

Global warming since then generally define as a gradually increasing in temperature, which results in changing global climate permanently. Earth 's climate has been negatively influenced by many direct and indirect ways. Humans can severely damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other…

Variance-component module program MARK to estimate variation in survival. Climate data was collected by using PRISM maps for monthly minimum and maximum temperatures and also seasonal data was collected from GIS, NCDC. Scientists have applied Palmer drought severity index to assess moisture levels during the season. To assess region wise climate patterns, SOI and PDO were used(Glenn.E et al. 2011). Authors studied the effect of climate change on wintering distribution of endangered migratory…
