Thermal-Based Evaporative Stress Index for Monitoring Surface Moisture Depletion

The standard suite of indicators currently used in operational drought monitoring reflects anomalous conditions in several major components of the hydrologic budget—representing deficits in precipitation, soil moisture content, runoff, surface and groundwater storage, snowpack, and streamflow. In principle, it is useful to have a diversity of indices because drought can assume many forms (meteorological , agricultural, hydrological, and socioeconomic), over broad ranges in timescale CONTENTS
