“…In the regions where the ground network of meteorological stations is sparse, vegetation monitoring can help to detail and interpolate spatially the estimations of climate parameters change, as the climate change is one of most significant factors of the vegetation cover change. Accordingly to our previously conducted studies (Panidi et al, 2017;2018; and to a number of the studies of other authors (Delbart et al, 2005;Sekhon et al, 2010) the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) is a relevant instrument for growing seasons monitoring, while growing season length, onset and ending reflect change in surface air temperature. Analysis of the NDWI annual graphs can be applied to determine growing season parameters (Panidi, Tsepelev, 2017).…”
