Drought assessment is crucial to mitigate its adverse impact, especially in India, where risk
is more due to an increase in population and climate change. However, most of the studies …

This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite
remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue …

Drought has a serious impact on the health of terrestrial ecosystems, socio-economy and
human health. It is important to accurately monitor drought conditions. Soil moisture (SM) …

Droughts have been identified as an environmental hazard by environmentalists, ecologists,
hydrologists, meteorologists, geologists, and agricultural experts. Droughts are …

Owing to its severe effect on productivity of rain-fed crops and indirect effect on employment
as well as per capita income, agricultural drought has become a prime concern worldwide …

Large-scale crop yield estimation is, in part, made possible due to the availability of remote
sensing data allowing for the continuous monitoring of crops throughout their growth cycle …

Numerous drought indices have been developed to monitor drought conditions. However,
different drought indices have differing characteristics, and are suitable for specific …
