Droughts are a natural phenomenon of water deficit and represent one of the most dangerous natural hazards to human activities; accordingly, its understanding and monitoring are vital. For doing this, long historical series of precipitation and evapotranspiration are considered; however, the sources of this observed information on land are usually limited spatially and temporally. Consequently, the use of complementary sources of information, such as reanalysis, is appropriate in areas with scarce information. Thus, we have evaluated the use of the reanalysis databases of the eartH2Observe project (WFDEI & MSWEP) in the Magdalena-Cauca river basin in Colombia, through the calculation of three drought indicators (SPI, SPEI & WCI). The indices calculated with the in-situ data identified ten drought events of great affectation in the basin. Applying statistical and a Bootstrap uncertainty analysis, we evaluate the performance of the reanalysis, finding that the use of the MSWEP precipitation product has a good potential for the analysis of droughts in Colombia
Las sequías son eventos naturales de déficit de precipitación que constituyen una de las amenazas naturales más peligrosas para las actividades humanas, por lo que su comprensión y monitoreo son de vital importancia. Para esto, se analizan las series históricas de precipitación y evapotranspiración, sin embargo, las fuentes de esta información medida en tierra suelen ser limitadas espacial y temporalmente. En consecuencia, el uso de fuentes de información complementaria, como los reanálisis, es de gran utilidad en zonas con escasez de información. De acuerdo con lo anterior, se evaluó el uso de las bases de datos del proyecto eartH2Observe (WFDEI y MSWEP) en la macrocuenca Magdalena-Cauca en Colombia, a través del cálculo de tres indicadores de sequías (SPI, SPEI y WCI). Los índices calculados con los datos in-situ identificaron diez eventos de sequía de gran afectación en la cuenca. Finalmente, los reanálisis fueron evaluados con base en coeficientes estadísticos y un análisis de incertidumbre tipo Bootstrap, encontrando un gran potencial en el uso de la serie de precipitación del MSWEP para el análisis de sequías en Colombia
