A Smart Data Fusion System for Enhanced Agriculture Drought Monitoring: Integrating Multi-source Remote Sensing and Meteorological streams

This study evaluates agricultural drought using remote sensing and precipitation datasets from Google Earth Engine, including MOD13Q1 v6.1, MOD11A2 v6.1, and CHIRPS Daily rainfall data. SPI, VCI, TCI, and VHI were derived to identify drought severity and vegetation stress. The results show strong relationships between rainfall deficit, temperature stress, and vegetation health. The datasets support drought monitoring, spatial analysis, and reproduction of graphs and research findings.
Data Availability and Description
