Agricultural drought periods analysis by using nonhomogeneous poisson models and regionalization of appropriate model parameters

Precipitation has a dominant role in agriculture, and a regular rain pattern is usually vital to agriculture; excessive or inadequate rainfall can be harmful. In this paper, an agricultural drought index is utilized to study the agricultural drought periods and analyze them with their intensities at...
