Appendix C (additional drought indices from Kazakhstan)
Indices used in drought monitoring: the Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) and the Shashko moisture index (Md). In order to define the severity of droughts, G.T. Selyaninov and D.I. Shashko used the drought intensity classification system shown in Table 1 and the formulae in Table 2. On assessment, droughts are classified according to three categories of intensity: severe, moderate or absent.

In order to assess soil moisture drought, surface-based observation data relating to soil moisture is collected to depths of 20 cm and 100 cm across Kazakhstan during the dekad(s) under assessment. The criteria used to classify the category of soil moisture drought are shown in Table 3.
