Remote Sensing Monitoring of Agricultural Drought in Henan Province during Spring and Summer of 2009

Article Preview

Abstract:

During spring and summer of 2009, the universal drought broke out around the world. This has a great influence on agricultural output value. Different degrees of drought appeared in 15 provinces and municipalities, mainly in winter wheat-producing areas. MODIS data and geographic information data were used in this paper. MPDI index was used to monitoring agricultural drought in winter wheat-producing areas of Henan.
