ANALYSIS AND QUANTIFICATION OF DROUGHT USING METEOROLOGICAL INDICES IN THE SUDANO-SAHEL REGION OF NIGERIA
📄 Project Abstract
Unlike the common use of only 'rainfall amounts' in indexing the drought in a place, this study have identified, verified and validated the potentials of nine (9) other precipitation effectiveness variables (PEV) that can equally reflect the drought conditions in any place. The 10 PEVs have been effectively combined to derive a 'at-site' operational drought index called the Conjunctive Precipitation Effectiveness Index (CPEI). A historical daily rainfall record from 1916-2003 for seven (7) stations in the SSRN was used to estimate CPEI for these stations. The CPEI obtained, using the 1023 possible arrangements for the various combinations of the 10 PEVs, were respectively statistically compared with the values for the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI), Bhalmey-Mooley Drought Index (BMDI) and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). Results obtained showed that a maximum combination of six (6) PEVs gave an average correlation (r) value above 0.8. Those arrang...
