Drought monitoring index data set

This dataset provides high-resolution, time-series Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data for maize growing areas in Heilongjiang Province, China. These data are from the multi-source remote sensing platform MDOIS and cover the May-September 2000 maize growing season]. The dataset was preprocessed to improve quality, including atmospheric corrections, geometric corrections, and cloud masking. The dataset supports the study entitled “Construction and application of a multidimensional heterogeneous drought assessment model for maize production in Heilongjiang Province”, where NDVI is a key input for drought monitoring and maize productivity analysis.
