Abstract
This paper presents a new drought assessment method by spatially and temporally integrating the regional water stress index (RWSI) with the temperature vegetation dryness index (TVDI). With the aid of LANDSAT TM/ETM data, we were able to retrieve the land-use and land-cover (LULC), vegetation indices (VIs), and land surface temperature (LST), and derive three types of TVDI, including TVDI SAVI, TVDI ANDVI and TVDI MSAVI, for the drought impact assessment in a well-developed coastal region, northern China. The classification of four drought impact categories associated with the RWSI values enables us to refine the spatiotemporal relationship between the LST and the VIs in a greater detail. Holistic drought impact assessment between 1987 and 2000 in our study area was carried out by linking RWSI with TVDIs group wise.
