Propagation mechanisms and triggering probabilities of meteorological to hydrological drought in the Poyang Lake Basin

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Highlights1. Hydrological droughts exhibit significantly longer duration and greater severity compared to meteorological droughts.2. The majority of sub-basins show primary sensitivity to short-term meteorological droughts (1–2 months).3. The Xiushui River exhibits the highest probability of triggering Poyang Lake drought under extreme riverine drought conditions.4. The propagation from meteorological to river hydrological drought is most pronounced in the Poyang Lake Basin during the winter and spring.
