Drought-related variables over the Bârlad basin (Eastern Romania) under climate change scenarios
Description: The goal of this study is the assessment of the future evolution of monthly temperature and precipitation and their influences exerted on droughts occurring in the Bârlad river basin (Eastern Romania). Researchers used recent results of experiments based on regional and global climate models under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCPs) scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5), which have been made accessible thanks to the EURO-CORDEX initiative. The impact of climate change on drought is assessed by using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). [Source: Catena]
