- Abstract:
-
Shaanxi is located in the hinterland of China where is vulnerable to the impacts of drought, it is significant to analyze the spatiotemporal variations of drought of Shaanxi Province. Based on temperature vegetation drought index (TVDI) obtained from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) products (MOD11A2 and MOD13A2), we established the NDVI-Ts characteristic space. Based on TVDI that can reflect the degree of drought with the use of soil moisture data and meteorological indexes, we analyzed the spatiotemporal variation of spring drought in Shaanxi Province by using TVDI data. The results showed that: (1) there was the negative correlation between TVDI and soil moisture, and the negative correlation between TVDI and precipitation, and there was the time lag between the TVDI and precipitation; (2) in the past 16 years in Shaanxi Province, the tendency of drought severity descended, within a year, the tendency increased from February to May; (3) the arid region distributed in northern part of north Shaanxi and the northeastern part of Guanzhong Plain in the past 16 years, the drought of south Shaanxi area, the south of north Shaanxi and the southwestern part of Guanzhong Plain was relatively slight.
