The Complex and Spatially Diverse Patterns of Hydrological Droughts Across Europe

This study presents a new data set of gauged streamflow (N = 3, 224) for Europe spanning the period 1962-2017. The Monthly Streamflow of Europe Dataset (MSED) is freely available at . Based on this data set, changes in the characteristics of hydrological drought (i.e., frequency, duration, and sever...

Results reveal bidirectional changes in monthly streamflow, with negative changes predominating over central and southern Europe, while positive trends dominate over northern Europe. Temporally, two dominant patterns were noted. The first pattern corresponds to a consistent downward trend in all months, evident for southern Europe. A second pattern was noted over central and northern Europe and western France, with a predominant negative trend during warm months and a positive trend in cold months. For hydrological drought events, results suggest a positive trend toward more frequent and severe droughts in southern and central Europe and conversely a negative trend over northern Europe. This study emphasizes that hydrological droughts show complex spatial patterns across Europe over the past six decades, implying that hydrological drought behavior in Europe has a regional character. Accordingly it is challenging to adopt "efficient" strategies and policies to monitor and mitigate drought impacts at the continental level.2022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://zaguan.unizar.es/record/117698reponame:Zaguán.
