Multiscale object-based drought monitoring and comparison in rainfed and irrigated agriculture from Landsat 8 OLI imagery
Description: Drought is a rapidly rising environmental issue that can cause damage to the environment and a country's economy. This is especially true for a region that features arid/semi-arid climate, such as Turkey's most important agricultural district - Southeast Anatolia. In this study, researchers examined the uncertainties of applying Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager NDVI data to estimate meteorological drought measured from 31 in-situ agro-meteorological monitoring stations during spring and summer of 2013 and 2014.
