Abstract:Arid and semi-arid regions are more susceptible to climate change impacts, leading to recurrent and sustained meteorological droughts as a natural hazard. Therefore, this study is established to assess the meteorological drought characteristics in the Urmia Lake Basin under a changing climate in Iran. To that end, General Circulation Models (GCMs) were evaluated using observed and Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) datasets. Then, the selected GCMs were applied to project drought conditions until 2… Show more
