Short Summary

This study investigates meteorological drought trends using the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Mann–Kendall test to assess changes in precipitation patterns in a regional case study.

Objective

• To investigate the trend of meteorological drought using the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Mann–Kendall test.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Regional case study (specific region not detailed in the provided text).
• Temporal Scale: Extended period (specific duration not detailed in the provided text).

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), Mann–Kendall test.
• Data sources: Precipitation data (specific source type, e.g., observation, reanalysis, not detailed in the provided text).

Main Results

• Not available in the provided text.

Contributions

• Provides a regional case study applying the WMO-recommended SPI and Mann–Kendall test to analyze meteorological drought trends, contributing to understanding regional precipitation dynamics and drought assessment.

Funding

• Not available in the provided text.
