The 12-month scale Drought Severity Index (DSI-12) was used. It is based on cumulative monthly precipitation anomalies, where the absolute deficit (in mm) is divided by the mean annual rainfall and multiplied by 100. DSI-12 is a rainfall index and therefore does not account for an increase in drought due to increasing temperatures (and subsequently potential evaporation). The map shows the ratio of the maximum DSI-12 in the future to the maximum DSI-12 in the historical period. Based on 50 climate model projections from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5; (Taylor et al., 2012), under the RCP8.5 climate scenario.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "The map shows the projected change in the maximum droughts experienced by cities.", "title": "Change factor of maximum drought in 571 European cities between 1951-2000 and 2051-2100.", "tags": [ "climate change; cities; drought; adaptation" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "Data", "Service", "Map Service", "ArcGIS Server" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/thumbnail.png", "url": "", "extent": [ [ -9.38088699973733, 34.6636839998497 ], [ 33.3628909998968, 69.6605159999913 ] ], "spatialReference": "WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere", "accessInformation": "Guerreiro, S.
