A Review of Remote Sensing Drought Monitoring Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Drought is one of the most common and largest impact natural disasters to human. Since its complexity, it’s really difficult to monitoring the beginning, duration and ending of drought, neither assessment the coverage area, severity and influence of drought accurately and quantified. The development of Remote Sensing brings drought monitoring and assessment into a new space, which makes it possible to capture data timely and faster in larger scale area for drought research. In this paper, the development history of remote sensing drought monitoring is present, and the common method, arithmetic of key factor and data sources-MODIS are introduced. At the last, the future research key points are proposed.
