Abstract
Spatio-temporal features of extreme droughts are analyzed using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index with time scales of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 months for Ukraine during 1901–1930 and 1976–2005. It is revealed that the frequency, intensity and duration were maximal for extreme drought at earlier 1900-th.
Tags: extreme drought; spatio-temporal features; the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index
