Knowledge graph centered on SPEI-based hierarchical clustering for climate zonation with 14 nodes and 26 connections. Top connected: not specified, drought severity, Statistical framework to assess long-term spatio-t, Budyko framework, Water balance equation.

Description

Novel application of hierarchical k-means clustering to cumulative distribution curves of Standard Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index to identify climate zones. Uses temporal segmentation to detect changing zonation patterns over time.

Typical Equipment

  • R library factoextra
  • hkmeans function
  • fviz_nbclust function
  • Hartigan and Wong algorithm

Output Measurements

  • cluster assignments
  • climate zones
  • temporal zonation changes
