Building Drought Early Warning Systems with Remote Sensing
Drought early warning systems depend on integrating multiple data streams. NDVI anomalies from MODIS and Sentinel-2 reveal vegetation stress weeks before visible impacts.
Combining vegetation indices with CHIRPS rainfall data and Standardized Precipitation Index values creates a robust early warning framework used across the Horn of Africa.
This aligns well with our drought monitoring work in the Horn. Thank you for sharing.
