Abstract: Drought analysis in Kythira Island, Greece, is performed in this paper. The analysis is based on four drought indices: SPI, RDI, aSPI and eRDI. Drought assessment was achieved through the DrinC model, which was also used for the calculation of PET, utilised by RDI and eRDI, and Pe which is used by aSPI. A meteorological station dataset (HNMS) and a satellite dataset (DEAR-Clima) were exploited. A general agreement among the values of the four indices for the two datasets is detected, which is also confirmed by the Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient. The known extreme drought event of 1990 is detected by all the indices.
