Abstract:This study developed a cell-based daily soil water analysis model (CellSW) for evaluating agricultural drought and calculated an agricultural drought index called the “Rainfall Effectiveness Index for Crop” (REIC). The model analyzed a daily soil water balance based on crop types, growth stages, soils, and climate. It adopted the rasterized daily rainfall, daily evapotranspiration, crop coefficient (by crop growth stage), and root depth as input parameters; it also consecutively generated the daily surface lay… Show more
