About this technology

Overview

This software analyzes Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS) precipitation data. It also analyzes Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Drought Index (NDDI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) data. Areas are mapped on the screen and corresponding trend charts are produced. The software also provides a visual comparison with social and economic variables including human population density, demographic, and conflict data to better understand the dynamics within these stressed areas.
