About this technology

Overview

This innovation processes Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, land surface temperature, and precipitation data. It then scales each component based on regional maxima and minima. Each scaled value is then inserted into the Scaled Drought Condition Index equation in order to produce a monthly drought index value for each pixel in the study area.
