摘要

The objective of this paper is to improve our perception of drought in central Sudan. This hasnbeen realized by detailing the changes that occurred in the dryness ratio (rainfall/potentialnevapotranspiration) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) during the periodn1941–2005. Eight representative stations of the area were selected and their dryness ratiosnexamined on annual and monthly bases. A trend towards intensifying and more recurrent droughtnhas been found. This trend is particularly significant in the arid areas. Statistically significantnincrease in areal coverage of drought has occurred. Substantial changes took place in thenseverity and frequency of drought between 1941–1970 and 1971–2005 over the whole area.nMoreover, the early to mid-1970s, mid-1980s, early 1990s and early 2000s were determined asncommon drought years and were among the driest 10 years. The analysis also revealed high andngenerally increasing inter-annual variability of the dryness ratio. There is not a dominantnshort-term persistence in the data, as assessed by the lag-one serial correlation coefficient. Earlynforecast of the moisture condition during the rest of the season could merely be accomplished atnsmall scale in the area. These results indicate that drought in the study area is irregular.
