Abstract:Abstract. The rapid development of droughts, referred to as flash droughts, can pose serious impacts on agriculture, ecosystem, human health, and society. However, its definition using pentad-average soil moisture could result in low accuracy of assessing the drought occurrence, making it difficult to analyze various factors controlling the formation of flash drought. Here we used a stochastic water balance framework to quantify the timing of drought as the first passage time of soil moisture dropping from a h… Show more
