Construction of Drought Indices from Passive Microwave Remote Sensing AMSR-E Data in Huaihe River Basin

Article Preview

Abstract:

On the basis of previous work, this paper aims to build several proper drought indices based on passive microwave remote sensing AMSR-E data in Huaihe River Basin. Compared with measured soil moisture, optimal drought indices have been selected to explore the spatio-temporal variation of drought conditions. The results indicate that there are satisfactory negative correlations between MPDIs (Microwave Polarization Index) and observed soil moisture. Moreover, MPDIs calculated by bands of 69GHz and 187GHz are much closer to variation trend of soil moisture than those obtained by other bands.
