Distribution and intensity of droughts in 2010 and 2012 in the European Russia were determined and compared using meteorological and satellite indices. Normalized negative anomaly of Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient and Palmer Drought Severity Index were used as meteorological indices. Satellite Climatic Extreme Index SCEI was selected for the analysis from the several satellite drought indices. Features of drought distribution and intensity identified in the combined analysis of meteorological and satellite indices are discussed.
