Drought is the meteorological phenomenon with the greatest impact on agriculture. In this study, we investigated potential improvements to ESI by generating maps of ET, fRET, and fRET anomalies at high spatiotemporal resolution (30-m pixels, daily time steps) using a multi-sensor data fusion method, enabling separation of landcover types with different phenologies and resilience to drought.

using the evaporative stress index (ESI) in major East Asian countries. The views expressed in this study, are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of IPET, The authors declare no conflicts of interest. ; Sentelhas, P. evapotranspiration and moisture stress across the continental U.S. based on thermal remote sensing: fluxes from observations of directional radiometric surface temperature. A comparison with other widely used national drought products, namely the Evaporative Stress Index (ESI), the Vegetation Drought Response Index (VegDRI), and the United States Drought Monitor (USDM), shows that LSWI-based drought has good agreement with ESI and USDM. According to the WMO and other litratures drought could be divided in four types, namely: (a) Meteorological drought resulted from a lack of precipitation, (b) Agricultural drought related to a shortage of available water for plant growth, and is assessed as insufficient soil moisture to replace evapotranspirative losses, in the other words, it refers to a period with declining soil moisture and consequent crop failure without any reference to surface water resources. drought development using the thermal infrared–based Evaporative Stress Index. In this, The development of drought index that provides detailed-spatial-resolution drought information is essential for improving drought planning and preparedness. The Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) describes temporal anomalies in evapotranspiration (ET), highlighting areas with anomalously high or low rates of water use across the land surface. In this study, a systems analysis approach is used to examine noise sources in existing vegetation indices (VI'S) and to develop a stable, modified NDVI (MNDVI) equation. understanding the LAI of a crop and its dynamics is very important for a wide range of agricultural, studies, such as crop growth monitoring and crop yield estimation [, ] and is generated through the calculation of the vegetation condition index (VCI) and the thermal, condition index (TCI).

To examine the role of crop phenology in yield-ESI correlations, annual input fRET time series were aligned by both calendar day and by biophysically relevant dates (e.g. Together, these results indicate that changes in soil moisture and near-surface atmospheric vapor pressure deficit are better predictors of the ESI than precipitation and air temperature anomalies are by themselves. Summer drought duration as depicted by the DNLSWI in the western portion of the study area was around one and a half month.

increased sharply in Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do in April. Comparison of trends for each drought index for China. drought damage were investigated in each country to determine the actual status of drought. therefore, is useful in monitoring seasonal, inter-annual, and long-term variation in vegetation structure. At regional scales (3–10 km pixel resolution), the ESI has demonstrated the capacity to capture developing crop stress and impacts on regional yield variability in water-limited agricultural regions.

; Black, T.A. ; Ramakrishna, R.; Nemani, R.R. 3.2. dry period when the VHI value is below 50 [, prevailing conditions are classified as drought. analysis of a water-related vegetation index from MODIS images. somewhat higher drought rate than other periods in January, rate in the Western region over the entire perio, but the northern and eastern regions had high overall drought rates until July, and EVI, drought rates have fallen sharply since March and have shown a tendency to rise again, high drought rates in the Western region of the co. ) EVI values for the four regions in China during the 2017 drought event. Quantitative analyses indicate that LSWI-based drought agreed better with ESI in severe drought conditions than in moderate or pre-drought conditions. droughts in South Korea and North Korea that lasted beyond the rainy season. potential evapotranspiration using geostationary satellite data. two periods, we confirmed how well the determination of droughts through satellite images really. actual ET in context with observed changes in the evaporative demand and solar radiation forcing. For these reasons, the development of a drought index that provides detailed spatial-resolution information on drought-affected vegetation conditions is essential to improve the country’s drought monitoring capabilities, which are needed to help develop more effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.

; intercomparison of drought indicators based on thermal remote sensing and NLDAS-2 simulations with U.S. Anderson, M.C. Drought is a complex natural hazard that impacts ecosystems and society in many ways. It is calculated using the VCI and TCI for each pixel and, where the NDVI is the value for the pixel and month, and, maximum values of the NDVI over the whole period, respectively, Using a similar procedure, the TCI is computed according to the following equation [, ] first proposed this index based on top-of-atmosphere, brightness temperatures, which are considered to be a proxy for surface temperatur, is a weight parameter that is usually set as 0.5 [, Administration (NOAA) satellites enable worldwide VHI images to be acquired, and available data. The spatial pattern of DNLSWI was consistent with the east-to-west decreasing precipitation gradient across the SGP region.

Communities mostly affected by this drought are those situated in Kwande, Ushongo and Vandekiaya local councils. indices based on thermal remote sensing of evapotranspiration over the continental United States. The ALEXI model computes the ESI through a two-source energy balance model established. ] Among them, there were high. severe drought trend in the Northern and Northeastern regions since late April.

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is an important remote measurement in agriculture because it has a high correlation with crop growth and yield result. Although agricultural drought often occurs during dry, hot periods of low precipitation, it can also occur during periods of average precipitation when soil conditions or agricultural techniques require extra water. The coefficients developed for the MNDVI are physically-based and are empirically related to the expected range of atmospheric and background “boundary” conditions. The training process is an optimization problem, that is solved using the spectral projected gradient method.
