Abstract: Drought is a natural phenomenon and integral part of climate variability. It has been a fact that drought event develops gradually without being noticed, causes insidious natural hazard and serious harm. Therefore, it is a must to characterize frequency, severity and duration of a drought. The objectives of this study were three-fold: 1) to show versatility of standardized precipitation index (SPI) for 6- and 12-month timescales in order to explore both wet and/or dry periods and precipitation thresholds for the onset of drought by using relatively long-term monthly precipitation data; 2) to develop drought severity-duration-frequency (SFD) curves; 3) to find a way for drought severity transformation to precipitation deficit for different return periods and drought durations. Monthly precipitation data of 87-year record length from Adana meteorological station were used in the study. SPI series of the two timescales were concordant with the historical drought experienced in the region. The 6-month moving cumulative precipitation thresholds varied between 125 mm (in October) and 487 mm (in April); it was 630 mm for the 12-month timescale. The longer a drought duration happens, the higher precipitation deficit is expected for timescales considered. SDF curves were helpful in delivering 6- and 12-month moving cumulative precipitation deficits for drought durations and return periods. Keywords: Drought duration, severity-duration-frequency curves, precipitation deficit, standardized precipitation index (SPI), k-month moving cumulative precipitation.

assessment is necessary for the implementation of the drought action plans to ensure sustainable water management in critical periods of water shortage. To this end, it is important to quantify drought characteristics by using local data. A number of methodologies (WMO, 2012) have been developed for monitoring drought in spatial and temporal extent. Severity, frequency, location, duration and timing are among the most outstanding characteristics of droughts. WMO and GWP (2016) points out that those characteristics

Introduction Drought, as a natural and environmental phenomenon, is an integral part of climate change as well as climate variability. Its characteristics and consequences are subject to variability in different climatic regions. On the other hand, it is not an easy task to monitor and forecast a drought event even if it is imminent. More importantly, it has been a fact that any drought event with D-month duration develops gradually without being noticed, and causes insidious natural hazard and serious harm. Therefore, drought risk

may be identified by utilizing drought indicators and indices. In this regard, drought indicators/indices may be a useful tool in order to support drought preparedness plans and risk-based drought management policies in drought prone regions including Mediterranean landscapes. Drought conditions are governed by drought indicators which are meteorological (precipitation and temperature), hydrological (streamflow, groundwater and reservoir levels, and snowpack) and agricultural (soil moisture). As for indices, they are primarily used to provide quantitative assessment of drought characteristics. In this manner, WMO and GWP (2016) underlines that indices provide useful communication tools for end-users, decision-makers, ordinary users, public, etc. Although Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was indorsed as the standard by WMO (2012) to determine meteorological drought via the Lincoln Declaration on Drought Indices (Zargar et al., 2011), there are, apart from SPI, a number of drought indices in use at the present time. However, as stated by McKee et al. (1993, 1995), Guttman (1998, 1999), WMO and GWP (2016), and the others, SPI can be calculated on as little as 20-year’s data; furthermore, it is flexible and easy to use in practice, allows calculations for timescales of up to 24 months. Hence, SPI series can be used in drought monitoring and characterizing droughts in drought prone areas. Based on above reasons, in drought characterization studies, SPI is commonly applied as an indicator of drought severity. However, Rahmat et al. (2015) pointed out that decision-makers and end-users may often have difficulty in understanding the derived drought information, due to the fact that the output is too technical. Saghafian et al. (2003) emphasized clearly that frequency analysis of droughts which is in the form of severity-duration-frequency (SDF) curve is complex as well as difficult. In order to overcome those shortcomings, tangible drought information such as precipitation deficits in the units of mm versus sum of negative deviations of Z-scores (Saghafian et al., 2003) should be provided for ordinary users.

The objectives of this study were threefold: 1) to show versatility of standardized precipitation index (SPI) for 6- and 12month timescales in order to explore both wet and/or dry periods and precipitation thresholds for the onset of drought by using relatively long-term monthly precipitation data; 2) to develop drought severityduration-frequency (SFD) curves; 3) to find a way for drought severity transformation to precipitation deficit for different return periods and drought durations. Materials and Methods Study Area and Data Source Adana province is located in the southern Turkey. It is under the Mediterranean climate regime (Figure 1) and characterized by extensive agriculture. The region receives abundant rainfall during the autumn and winter periods (between December and April). However, rainfall is extremely scarce during long summer season (between May and November). Long term annual mean rainfall is about 645 mm with a mean temperature of 19.2 °C (1927-2017) in the province (https://www.mgm.gov.tr).

Figure 1. Location of the study site in Turkey (Adana meteorological station, Zone #: 36, Lat: 37.0037o N, Lon: 35.3432 o E) Monthly rainfall data of Adana meteorological station over the period of 1929 to 1915 (87-year) was obtained from General Directorate of Meteorology. The data were checked for likely errors before they were utilized in the study. Standardized Precipitation Index McKee et al. (1993) developed the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) with

the purpose of identifying and monitoring spatial and temporal behaviour of droughts. In this regard, multiple time scales (McKee et al., 1995), from 1-month to 24-month, may be used. Due to its simplicity in use and calculation WMO recommended SPI as the main meteorological drought index (WMO, 2012) to the national meteorological services to monitor and follow drought conditions. SPI series of Adana station, covering period from 1929 to 2015, for k = 6-month and k=12-month timescales were calculated by using the latest Windows/PC version of SPI program (SPI_SL_6.exe) described in detail in WMO (2012). Precipitation threshold levels were defined by using the association defined between SPI of k-month time scales and the respective k-month moving cumulative precipitation series, Pk, i.e. 𝑷𝒌 = 𝒇(𝑺𝑷𝑰𝒌 ). At the end, the k-month moving cumulative precipitation threshold [𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒌 (𝒎𝒎)] was directly obtained from the graph or by substituting 𝑺𝑷𝑰𝒌 = −𝟎. 𝟎𝟏 into the association. At this stage, due to the fact that mild drought category is a halfopen interval (Table 1), SPIk is assigned to 0.01 which is immediately below 0.00. For the sake of safety as well as simplicity, this precipitation amount is arbitrarily regarded as the threshold precipitation (Rahmat et al., 2015) for the k-timescale here after.

Frequency Analysis and Severity-DurationFrequency (SDF) Curves It was assumed that 87-year record length is well enough for drought characterization regarding record lengths of meteorological stations in Turkey. Therefore, annual maximum series (AMS) approach (Eris et al., 2018) was adopted in the present study. Based on the literature (French and Jones, 2015; Eris et al., 2018; Aksoy et al., 2018) Log-Pearson III (LP3), two- and threeparameter lognormal (LN2, LN3), two- and three-parameter Weibull (W2, W3), twoand three-parameter Gamma (G2, G3) and three-parameter generalised extreme value (GEV3) were selected as candidate cumulative distribution functions in the frequency analysis for 6-month and 12month drought severity series of different durations (Ds). In order to conduct a reliable frequency analysis, drought severity series of at least a minimum of ten points (French and Jones, 2015) were used in this study. French and Jones (2015) were examined the performance of candidate probability distribution functions by evaluating the Anderson-Darling (AD) goodness-of-fit test. Drought severities for any return periods (2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years) were estimated from the determined probability distributions by treating zeroes indicating the years without any drought in the severity series. Details of the treatment of zeroes in hydrological analysis can be found in Haan (1977) and Eris et al. (2018). Drought severity values of T-year return periods (𝑺𝑷𝑰𝒌𝑻𝒓 ) for any duration of k-month timescale were converted to precipitation deficits (𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒌𝑻𝒓 )in the units of mm by utilizing the approach of 𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒌𝑻𝒓 (𝒎𝒎) = 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒌 (𝒎𝒎) − 𝒇(𝑺𝑷𝑰𝒌𝑻𝒓 ).

Drought Classification, Defining Drought Duration (D) and Severity A drought event or period starts only when the SPI values in consecutive months are continuously negative in any run, and ends when it becomes positive (Paulo and Pereira, 2006). Drought categorization was done based on the SPI values in Table 1. In order to derive drought severity-durationfrequency (DSF) curves, drought duration and severity were defined for each event for overall Z-score time series, i.e. SPI values, of 6-month and 12-month timescales. Hence, the sum of negative SPI values, which measures drought severity (S), in any run length (D) was defined and tabulated for frequency analysis by following procedures given in Saghafian et al. (2003), Paulo and Pereira (2006).

to continue, longer rainy periods are less persistent in a time scale of 1-month. However, rainy periods are observed more than drought periods for the remaining timescales. Albeit the SPI was reliable and more consistent in detecting droughts for different time steps, it should not be used solely in comparison studies to present a drought index. Dogan et al. (2012) pointed out that the 1-month time step is irrelevant in arid/semi-arid regions because seasonal rainfall deficiencies are common there

Results and Discussion Observed Drought Occurrences This study produced SPI values for multiple time scales of 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, 12- and 24- month by utilizing 87-year monthly precipitation data. Drought occurrences for each drought category (Table 1) were computed as the percentage occurrence of each event with respect to total number of observations in the series of the k-timescale. Table 2 shows the results at multiple time scales and drought categories. While drought conditions are more likely

Table 2. Observed drought frequencies/occurrences in Adana station for multiple time scales Drought category Mild Moderate Severe Extreme Wet

3-month 32.1 9.2 4.3 2.7 51.6 100.0

The frequency of severe and extreme droughts was 7% for the 3-month time scale which is useful for basic drought monitoring. However, percentage of extreme drought occurrences are greater (3.6%) for the 6-month timescale, suitable for monitoring agricultural impacts (WMO and GWP, 2016), in comparison with extreme droughts of 1- and 3-month timescales. On the other hand, the longer the timescale, the less drought frequency for categories of severe and extreme drought observed in the region, indicating that droughts last longer, and becomes persistent -hence long durations. Because SPI values for 12 months or longer are suitable indices for hydrological impacts (McKee et al., 1993), severe drought events inevitably cause higher drought magnitudes at any drought duration, resulting in rather the high precipitation deficits.

Drought occurrences (%) 6-month 9-month 12-month 33.8 33.9 34.5 7.8 8.8 8.3 4.0 4.4 4.4 3.5 2.5 2.3 50.9 50.4 50.5 100.0 100.0 100.0

for different return periods and durations regarding agricultural and hydrological droughts, respectively. A plot of SPI versus time is indeed informative with regard to variability of drought sequences as well as drought severity. As seen in Figure 2, drought events are more frequent with short duration lengths for k = 6-month timescale in comparison with k = 12-month timescale. Because the longer the record length and the higher k values, the more conspicuous drought periods with less severity appears in the SPI series. This means that the increase in the timescale have a smoothing effect on individual drought severity but an increasing effect on the drought magnitude over the period of D-month duration. This is true for the 12-month timescale (Figure 2). Results show that the most severe drought (SPI = -2.85) is for the 6-month timescale in July of 1987. However, for the 12-month timescale the SPI value is the maximum (-2.79) in February 1973. Contrary to the drought severity, maximum drought durations were found as D = 32 months and D = 59 months for the 6- and 12-month timescales, respectively. The findings highlight that different timescales are worth

Variability in Drought Events with Time Scales SPI values enable the users to make retrospective drought analysis. In this study, timescales of 6- and 12-month were chosen to derive accumulated precipitation deficits

studying to define drought severities, durations, magnitudes and intensities. Dogan et al. (2012) tried to determine the effect of timescales on drought detection using six drought indices, and they concluded that the SPI was more consistent in detecting

droughts for different time steps. Consequently, the longer a record continues, homogeneous and with no missing peaks, the more is its value enhanced, particularly in drought assessment studies.

Figure 2. The effects of time scales on temporal variability of SPI, fluctuations of wet and dry periods in Adana province In this study, drought periods were successfully determined by SPI method for the 12-month timescale. For example, albeit the drought duration was only D = 13 months and its intensity was about -1.51 (severe drought) in the period December 2013 - December 2014 (Figure 2, k=12month shown with an arrow), drought event was newsworthy

Akbas (2014) by using different drought indicators and indices. On the other hand, the same drought cannot be followed conspicuously in k=6-month SPI runs, showing the importance timescales in drought identification.

CurveExpert (Version 1.40), the threshold rainfall for 12-month timescale was found as 630 mm. This threshold precipitation indicates onset of a drought event in Adana province if the observed 12-month accumulated precipitation at the end of any month is less than the threshold value. The lower the 12-month moving cumulative rainfall compared to the threshold value, the more severe drought happens in the region. On the other hand, precipitation thresholds differed in each month for the 6month timescale precipitation series, indicating that the relationship between SPI6 series of each month and corresponding 6month moving accumulated precipitation data was resulted in rather different parameters of Gompertz function. Graphs of SPI6,i versus SPI6,i, where i stands for the month, corroborated different rainfall thresholds by months. Rainfall threshold analysis results were depicted in Figure 3.

Precipitation Threshold Levels It is not an easy task to predict a drought event a month or more in advance for most locations (Palchaudhuri and Biswas, 2013). However, retrospective analysis of drought events by using runs of SPI values may be useful to derive tangible information for end-users and/or decision-makers. To this end, the relationship between the k-month moving accumulated precipitation and the corresponding SPIk values was investigated by regression analysis. It was seen that a sigmoid function of Gomperts fitted well the data (r > 0.98) for the 6- and 12-month timescales. By using the Gomperts curve and its parameters which were determined in a comprehensive curve fitting system of

Figure 3. Variation of precipitation threshold levels [mm] by months in Adana province It is important to highlight that rainfall thresholds are consistent with the general climatologic characteristics of the region, varying from 125 mm (in October) to 487 mm (in April). For example, hydrological year ends at the end of September and starts on the 1st of October in Turkey. Therefore, October is the most critical month regarding drought incidences. For this reason,

precipitation threshold was found as the minimum (125 mm) in October. It means that if the 6-month moving precipitation accumulation, i.e. from May to October, is less than 125 mm in October at any year, ordinary-users or decision-makers would know that a drought period has already started. However, no one knows whether it will persist for a few months, years or more.

October, November and December are critical months regarding rain-fed agriculture in the Mediterranean landscape; for example, wheat season starts in this period. Consequently, any drought event, irrespective of its category (i.e. mild, moderate, severe or extreme), prevents seeds from sprouting. As seen from Figure 3, precipitation threshold was the highest in April which is considered as the end of wet season in the region. For this reason, any 6-month moving accumulated precipitation less than 487 mm at the end of April might be considered as the onset of imminent agricultural drought spell.

suitable frequency distribution for drought severity analysis for Adana station. Many years were found to be without any drought events when drought severity data series were examined. For the 6-month timescale, the number of years without any drought was 5 out of 87 years for D = 1 month, 75 for D = 13 months, indicating noticeable decrease in the data points which is disadvantage of frequency analysis. Likewise, for the 12-month timescale, the number of zero-rated drought years varied from 15 (D = 1 month) to 77 (D = 23 months). By taking into account zeroes indicating the years without any drought, drought severities corresponding to the return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years were estimated for drought durations of 6and 12-month timescales, and were then tabulated. In order to derive precipitation deficits for durations and return periods, drought severities need to be converted into the units of precipitation. To this end, threshold values and relationship between SPIk and k-month moving cumulative precipitation (Pk,) was used. For example, drought severity estimates were transformed to the precipitation deficits by using the following relationship, which was solely and exclusively developed for Adana station, for the 12-month timescale:

Drought Severity-Duration-Frequency Curves and Deriving Precipitation Deficits Frequency analysis was done on the series of drought severities with different durations for 6- and 12-month timescales. Any drought duration having at least a minimum of 10 points (i.e. drought severity values) were used to conduct a reliable frequency analysis (French and Jones, 2015) in this study. For the 12-month timescale, drought duration varied from 1 month to 59 months. However, data points in the series were found less than 10 while D is greater than 23-month. For this reason, frequency analysis was conducted on the series of D < 23 months. As for the 6-month time scale, the same analysis was repeated for the drought severities taking into account the fact that number data points in the series is ≥ 10. Due to the inherited character of the 6month time scale, the first 13 durations were found to have sufficient data points (n ≥ 10) to conduct reliable frequency analysis, while maximum duration was found as D = 33 months of the only one data point. For all durations of 12-month timescale, three-parameter generalised extreme value distribution (GEV3) fitted all the data well. Similarly, the 6-month timescale drought severity data gave a good fit with GEV3 distribution for 12 out of 13 durations. Contrarily, data of 2-month duration fitted with the two-parameter Weibull (W2) distribution. Based on the frequency analysis, it is concluded that GEV3 is a

where 𝑷t is the threshold rainfall of 630 mm, a=2.22E+04, b=1.27E+00, c=8.01E-02. For instance, when duration is taken one-month, the expected 12-month moving cumulative rainfall deficits for 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years return periods are 139, 226, 269, 313, 340 and 363 mm, respectively. The same calculation procedure was repeated for durations of 6- and 12-month timescales. Results are given in Figure 4. As mentioned tacitly before, the theorem of total probability was used in this study in order to estimate T-year drought severities by taking zeroes into account. As seen from Figure 4, estimation of 12-month moving cumulative rainfall deficits with 2-year return period was theoretically impossible for the durations greater than 6-month

(Figure 4). As can be seen in Figure 4, it is also true for 5-year return period of

durations greater than 12-month.

Twelve-month moving cumulative rainfall deficit-duration-frequency curves (upper) and 6-month moving cumulative precipitation deficit of 5-year return period versus drought durations (below) This particular characteristic might purely be attributed to the Mediterranean climate preponderant in the region. Drought events, lasting for 12 months (D = 12 months), cause 12-month cumulative 833,

difficult to recover such a drought with a year. This indicates that such a drought event may cause serious harm to the different sectors of economy, in particular agriculture, in the region. On the other hand, if the 6-month timescale is considered, drought severity, hence cumulative rainfall deficit, becomes even more important in order to make reasonable agricultural drought assessment. As seen in Figure 4, the 6-month moving cumulative rainfall deficit in any month increases with drought duration. However, to some extent, there seems to be a kind of temporal clustering which is directly linked to time scale as well as temporal distribution of rainfall, i.e. inherited characteristic of climate in the region, indicating that the pattern of rainfall in a given drought duration is of great importance. The estimated 6-month moving cumulative rainfall deficits with 5-year recurrence interval are 88, 105, 112, 146, 165, 189, 213, 236, 241, 251, 259 mm for SeptemberOctober, November, August, July, December, June, January, February, May, March, April, respectively. Put another way, supposing that rainfall totals from May to October is less than the threshold rainfall of October (125 mm in Figure 3), it can then be considered as a signal of the onset of a drought event. If this drought event lasts for one-month, the expected deficit rainfall with 5-year return period will be 88 mm. It is important to emphasize here that the severity (magnitude) of that drought is S = -1.94 (in SPI unit (Saghafian, 2003)) with the intensity (I = S/D) of I = -1.94, categorised as “severe drought” according to Table 1. It is also understood from this example that driving of SPI based drought information is too technical and difficult to understand by practitioners or end-users including decision-makers. Instead of this, deriving threshold rainfall values and rainfall deficits in the units of mm with different durations and return periods will be more meaningful to the end-users.

causes insidious natural hazard and serious harm. Therefore, characterization of the frequency, severity and duration of a drought event is of great importance for the end-users. In this study, 6- and 12-month timescales were studied to derive precipitation deficits with different return periods and drought durations. Based on the results, following conclusions can be drawn:  Historical drought events were successfully characterised by using the SPI. It is able to figure out wet and/or dry periods, and is a useful tool to define precipitation thresholds for 6- and 12-month timescales.  Record length is of great influence on the frequency analysis in order to conduct a reliable probability analysis. GEV3 is a suitable frequency distribution function for drought severity analysis for Adana station in the Mediterranean region.  Representative drought severity-durationfrequency (SFD) curves were developed. In this regard, treatment of zeroes is of great importance in order to make reliable drought severity estimates for a pre-defined return period.  Threshold rainfall values and rainfall deficits in the units of mm with different durations and return periods were successfully obtained. It is believed that this kind of information is more meaningful as well as informative to the end-users and decision-makers compared to SPI based severities and/or intensities.
