Multifractal assessment of hydroclimatic variability in Midwest Brazil using the hydroclimatic balance index (HBI): a comparison with the standardized precipitation index (SPI)

Abstract This study investigates the multifractal characteristics of hydroclimatic variability in the capital cities of Midwest Brazil using monthly precipitation (ppt) and actual evapotranspiration (aet) data from the TerraClimate dataset (1958–2024). A 12-month standardized hyd...
