• W3089713031 abstract "&lt;p&gt;A robust definition of drought is as a sustained and impactful surface moisture imbalance between its supply and demand. While the supply aspect has generally long been well characterized by precipitation, the same cannot be said for the demand side, which is a function of atmospheric evaporative demand (sometimes also called potential evaporation, or PET) and surface moisture availability. Traditional drought analyses have neglected evaporative demand entirely or inadequately parameterized it using either its climatological mean or estimates based on temperature. This is primarily due to (i) a deficient understanding of the role that evaporative demand plays in both driving and exacerbating drought, and (ii) a paucity of the data required to fully characterize evaporative demand&amp;#8212;temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed. These deficiencies are particularly acute over data-sparse regions that are also home to drought-vulnerable and food-insecure populations, such as across much of Africa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is thus urgent need for global evaporative demand estimates for physically accurate drought analyses and food security assessments such as those operationally conducted by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET). We need first to improve our understanding of how evaporative demand and drought interact, and then exploit these interactions in drought monitoring and in support of famine early warning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) supports FEWSNET&amp;#8217;s food-security monitoring, early warning, and forecast efforts by providing a nearly 40-year long, daily, 0.125-degree, global dataset of Penman-Monteith reference evapotranspiration as a fully physical metric of evaporative demand. This dataset is driven by the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2)&amp;#8212;an accurate, fine-resolution land-surface/atmosphere reanalysis&amp;#8212;and is proving invaluable for examining and attributing hydroclimatic changes and extremes on secular time scales and in ongoing operations. An emerging drought index based on this dataset&amp;#8212;the Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI)&amp;#8212;represents drought&amp;#8217;s demand perspective, and permits early warning and ongoing monitoring of agricultural flash drought and hydrologic drought, both crucial drivers of food insecurity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our goal in this presentation is to describe how these needs are increasingly being met by service of evaporative demand data and value-added drought-monitoring and famine early warning products to regional scientists tasked with assessing drought (and famine) risk in food-insecure countries within the FEWSNET framework. We will summarize the development and verification of the evaporative demand dataset and the results of a rigorous decomposition of its temporal variability across Africa. Further, we will highlight the utility of the dataset by examining the attribution of extreme evaporative demand anomalies associated with canonical droughts across the continent (e.g., the 2016 Horn of Africa drought), by using EDDI in early warning, and using the new evaporative demand dataset as an input to established food-security metrics such as GeoWRSI&amp;#8212;a geo-spatial, stand-alone implementation of the Water Requirements Satisfaction Index. Together, these analyses should greatly contribute to a more holistic understanding of drought and food-security risk across the continent.&lt;/p&gt;" @default.
