(EEA ..., 2012)
Europe has been affected by several major droughts in recent decades.
Severity and frequency of droughts appear to have increased in parts of
Europe, in particular in southern and south-eastern Europe.
Topic 1 / Drought management platforms – DMCs
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM): http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/drought/ - Australia,
IGAD clima prediction and application center (ICPAC): http://www.icpac.net/ - Africa,
Global Drought Monitor (GDM): http://drought.mssl.ucl.ac.uk - UK,
SPEI Global Drought Monitor: http://sac.csic.es/spei/map/maps.html - South America,
products? continental and regional overview of information on drought; visualization and analysis; seamless access to regional and national drought information; intensely uses modelling systems for drought status assessment; many meteorological variables are very difficult to accurately
simulate drought using only data available in global exchange; thus country drought products prepared from local measurements
are crucial for drought status assessments; operational process (new products and methodolgy - remote
sensing, consensus on common approaches).
