Characterization of Meteorological Drought Using Monte Carlo Feature Selection and Steady-State Probabilities
Table 9
Classif. drought categories received SSW in various months. The SSW is computed based on the SPEI-1 for the year, 2017, in chosen stations. For instance, in the Skardu Station ND receives SSW with a value of 0.6378. In June of Skardu, the MD receives SSW with a value of 0.1887. It can be observed that ND category received greater weights than other selected drought categories. It can be observed in most of the selected stations and drought indices that the ND is prevalent. Further, the weights of other drought categories in varying stations can be noted accordingly.
