- Abstract
- This study applied the remote sensing-based drought index, namely, the Energy-Based Water Deficit Index (EWDI), across Mongolia, Australia, and Korean Peninsula for the period between 2000 and 2010. The EWDI is estimated based on the hydrometeorological variables such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture, solar radiation, and vegetation activity which are derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imageries. The estimated EWDI was compared with the Evaporative Stress Index (ESI), the Vegetation Condition Index (VCI), and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The correlation coefficients between the drought indices are as follows: 0.73-0.76 (EWDI vs ESI), 0.64-0.71 (EWDI vs VCI), 0.54-0.64 (EWDI vs SPI-3), 0.69-0.71 (ESI vs VCI), 0.55-0.62 (ESI vs SPI-3), and 0.53-0.57 (VCI vs SPI-3). The drought prediction accuracy of each index according to error matrix analysis is as follows: 83.33-94.17% (EWDI), 70.00-91.67% (ESI), 47.50-85.00% (VCI), and 61.67-88.33% (SPI-3). Based on the results, the EWDI and ESI were found to be more accurate in capturing moderate drought conditions than the SPI at different geographical regions.
