Developing a multivariate drought index to assess drought characteristics based on the SWAT-Copula method in the Poyang Lake basin, China by Liping Guo, Fusheng Chen, Bin Wang, De Li Liu, Xiulong Chen, Hongsheng Huang, Hua Bai, Kaitao Liao, Zhiming Xia, Keyu Xiang, Linchao Li, Taihui Zheng, Qiang Yu

“…A Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI) was then developed with simulated Standardized Soil Moisture Index (SSI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) based on copula functions. We found that (1) The SWAT can simulate monthly streamflow well with NS being 0.76–0.92 for validation data over the sub-basins in the PLB. (2) The MSDI index indicated that there were more drought events during 1960–1979 and 2000–2019, highlighting a cyclical pattern of drought events in the PLB. (3) The Xiushui River Basin encountered the most extreme drought conditions since 2000, indicating the basin faced a high risk of dry conditions. …”
