摘要
The AVHRR-based Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) and Temperature Condition Index (TCT) have been developed and successfully used for monitoring drought in the USA., the Former Soviet Union, Zimbabwe, and China. This research was designed to apply and validate those indices for drought detection and impact assessment on agricultural yields in Cordoba province of Argentina. Seventy one percent of corn yield variability was explained by the spectral indices averaged over January and February. The VCI and TCI were useful to assess the spatial characteristics, the duration and severity of drought, and were in a good agreement with precipitation patterns. (C) 1998 COSPAR.
