英文摘要It is of great importance to construct an integrated drought indicator, which is of great importance to drought risk assessment and decision-making. Given the fuzzy nature of drought, the variable fuzzy set theory was applied to develop an Integrated Drought Index (IDI) combining meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural factors across the Yellow River basin in North China. The runoff and soil moisture were derived by driving the calibrated Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model with observed atmospheric forcing. Furthermore, the law of mutual change of quality and quantity was adopted to identify qualitative change points of annual IDI series in the Yellow River basin. The results indicate that: (1) the Integrated Drought Index (IDI) has a better performance compared with Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized streamflow Index (SSFI), and it is more sensitive and effective to capture drought onset and persistence, largely owing to its combination with the information of different drought-related variables; (2) spatially, the middle reaches has a higher drought risk than the rest portions of the Yellow River basin; seasonally, drought risk in spring and winter is larger than other seasons; overall, the IDI of the basin is dominated by an insignificantly downward trend; (3) some qualitative change points of drought were identified in the Yellow River basin, and those are primarily induced by ENSO events and the construction of dams and reservoirs. This study proposed an alternative drought indicator coupled with multivariate drought-related variables by objectively determining their weights based on the entropy weight method, which has a great value in characterizing drought.
