General Review
Drought and its Classication
Denition
There is not a precise denition of drought
drought means a sustained, extended deciency in precipitation (WMO,1986) the percentage of years when crops fail from the lack of moisture (FAO, 1983) .....
Depending on the eld/context, a drought event can be 1 Meteorological: drought is usually based on long-term precipitation departures from normal. 2 Hydrological: drought refers to deciencies in surface and subsurface water supplies. 3 Agricultural: drought occurs when there is insucient soil moisture to meet the needs of a particular crop at a particular time.

General Review
Why use remote sensing for drought assessment?
Advantages
Local and global monitoring. Spatial and temporal assesment. Widly used in the last two decades for monitoring vegetation
condition.
A good choice for a developing country, which have insucient
density of weather stations

Since 2000 we have data with highly temporal resolution and medium
spatial resolution from sensor MODIS.

General Review
Normalized Dierence Vegetation Index (NDVI)

In short
It is a measure of the vegetation health.
N DV I =
N IR V IS N IR + V IS
(1)
1 N DV I 1 But in agricultural, its value is above zero. 0 > poor vegetation condition. 1 > good vegetation condition

General Review
Informatic tools for remote sensing and GIS

Wide variety of softwares
Propietary (Very high cost applications): ENVI, ERDAS, ESRI, Matlab OpenSource: GRASS GIS, QGIS, ILWISS, R
What is needed?
Procesing a huge amount of data raster. Perform sophisticated data analysis and graphics. Interact with other software. Work eciently

Vegetation Condition Index (VCI)
VCI features (Kogan,1994)
Derived from the NDVI Was designed to separate the weather related component of NDVI
from ecological factors.

Reects the spatial and temporal vegetation variability. Its a scaling of the NDVI between its maximum and minimum. Has excellent ability to detect drought and to mesure time of its
onset, intensity, duration, and impact on vegetation.

Its value goes between 0 and 100 %

We use data from MODIS sensor (2000-2012), 16 days composite. Firstly we need an smoothed NDVI. (LOWESS (Cleveland,1981))

Recommendations
Recommendations
Analysis in the agricultural area (LANDCOVER). Consider the period most sensitive for crop growth. Validation of the VCI, make regression analysis with some variables.
(crop yield, biomass, rainfall,...)

Make research in the sense to extend the time series of NDVI images
(NOAA, AVHHR).
Sophisticated time series analysis. Extend the analysis to whole country.
