Climate change may cause oasification or desertification both: an analysis based on the spatio-temporal change in aridity across India
Climate change-induced aridity changes are observed globally and in India, with variable spatial and temporal distribution. Unlike droughts, aridity...

Spatial and temporal changes of aridity in Argentina and its relationship with some oceanic-atmospheric teleconnection patterns
This paper analyzes spatial and temporal changes of aridity in Argentina (1961–2022). The aridity degree, using Climatic Research Unit (CRU) monthly...

Assessment of the Correction of the Reference Evapotranspiration at Nonirrigated Weather Stations Affected by Aridity and Delimitation of the Meteorological Conditions that Limit its Implementation
As most reference crop evapotranspiration (ETref) estimates are computed from weather stations located outside irrigated plots, the site aridity can...

Intensified aridity in inland Asia preserved in lacustrine carbonates of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau
It is generally accepted that extensive and intensified aridity in inland Asia began in the mid-Miocene as a result of global cooling. We present new...

Spatiotemporal analysis of aridity indices by using the nonparametric methods (case study: Sirvan river basin, Kurdistan Province, Iran)
In this research, De Martonne’s index of aridity (IDM), Pinna combinative aridity index (IP), and UNEP aridity index (AI) were used for the drought...
