Spatiotemporal characteristic and forecast of drought in northern Xinjiang, China

Understanding monitor accurately and predicting drought conditions are necessary to prevent economic losses and natural disasters. Now, there is still a lack of comprehensive assessment of drought prediction in Xinjiang. In order to better predict the future drought trend, firstly we analyzed the tr...
