Satellite-Based Assessment of Meteorological and Agricultural Drought in Mainland Southeast Asia

Abstract: Satellite-based soil moisture products allow direct monitoring of agricultural drought, especially in regions with sparse ground-based observations. In this study, a soil moisture drought index only based on satellite soil moisture is developed and adopted to assess drought in Mainland Southeast Asia. We report here on an exceptionally severe Mainland Southeast Asia drought in 2016, which is believed to be strongly linked to the 2015-2016 super El Niño strongly. The event began in February 2016 and lasted unti… Show more

“…We defined a heat‐moisture coupling event as an occurrence where the LST is ≥25°C and the RZSM percentile is ≥70. These cutoffs were chosen to ensure a temperature that allows for successful seed pre‐conditioning and germination (Aflakpui et al., 1998 ; Babiker et al., 2001 ; Matusova et al., 2004 ), as well as a soil‐moisture level in the approximate upper tercile, which is generally considered wet soil (Li et al., 2022 ; Tian & Zhang, 2023 ). Any instances with missing values were excluded during the cleaning process.…”

“…Satellite-based soil moisture products could monitor drought and assess its evolution, which is essential to regions that lack stations [18]. Soil moisture could be converted into a drought index, which is used to classify and quantify the drought degree [19].…”
