Abstract:
      In this paper, the applicability of three compound drought indexes (PADI, OVDI, and TVDI) in three main agricultural production areas (winter wheat, summer corn, and rice) in China was analyzed using multi\|source remote sensing data, through the linear correlation analysis with SPI-3 and comparison with the actual drought situation. The results showed that: (1) The three kinds of compound drought indexes were not suitable for drought monitoring in rice region. (2) In the drought monitoring of three types of agricultural areas, PADI and TVDI were more accurate in quantifying the drought situation (E.g. duration, severity, and spatial distribution), while OVDI was overvalued in judging the severity of drought. (3) TVDI and OVDI were suitable for large\|scale drought monitoring, while the monitoring results of TVDI were more accurate. (4) Because of the combination of crop information, PADI was more comprehensive in drought quantification and suitable for small\|range drought monitoring, which requires higher input information.
