Drought

Drought monitoring combines soil moisture, vegetation health anomalies, land-surface temperature, evapotranspiration, and water-level or storage proxies to characterize extent, severity, anomalies, and trends.[1][2][3]

SMAP measures and maps soil moisture and freeze/thaw state and supports improved predictions of drought and related water-cycle hazards.[1][4]

NOAA vegetation-health products use satellite-derived greenness and thermal condition indices as proxies for vegetation stress and drought monitoring.[2]

Agricultural drought is tied to persistent soil-moisture deficit, while hydrological drought can require water-level and storage indicators beyond vegetation stress.[3][4]
