- Abstract:
-
MODIS data from June to September were used to calculate temperature vegetation drought index (TVDI). We selected TVDI data of 40 dry farming sites as the research objects which is in ten days as a unit of TVDI over the past 15 years. According to the agricultural drought grade division standard of soil relative humidity, TVDI drought monitoring level was set. The results show that the TVDI can be divided into 5 levels. TVDI < 0.46 for no drought,TVDI between 0.46 to 0.57 for the light drought,TVDI between 0.57~0.76 for the middle drought, 0.76~0.86 in the TVDI for the heavy drought, TVDI≥0.86 for the special drought. Meanwhile, the agricultural drought grade division standard was verified by the soil relative humidity data of field survey in 2011. Results showed that the accuracy of the verified results reached to 83%, which demonstrates that the classification of TVDI is suitable and practical.
