Abstract

Drought is one of the most serious natural hazards that affects the quality of life of all living things.  Iran is a low-rainfall land that has been threatened by this natural hazard for centuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the remote sensing indicators effective on drought analysis and explain the pattern of spatial autocorrelation in the central and southern Zagros.  In this regard, using the daily rainfall statistics of 103 meteorological stations during the period 2000 to 2019, the required data were prepared and corresponding SPI values ​​were extracted from 103 location points related to meteorological stations.
