An application of the Soil Moisture Agricultural Drought Index (SMADI) for global agricultural drought monitoring is presented. The index integrates surface soil moisture from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and allows for global drought...
The European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative (CCI) soil moisture (or Essential Climate Variable soil moisture) long-term database was used to assess the agricultural drought evolution. With this aim, the Soil Water Deficit Index (SWDI) was calculated with the CCI soil moisture product over the agricultural area of the Zamora province (Spain) from 1978 to 2014. The SWDI was compared with other...
A comparison analysis was made between the SWDI (Soil Water Deficit Index) calculated with in situ and SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite) soil moisture series (June-2010 to December-2014), over an agricultural area in Spain. Additionally, both SWDI have been compared with two well-known agricultural drought indices, the CMI (Crop Moisture Index) and the AWD (Atmospheric Water Deficit...
Southern Mediterranean lagoons are among the more vulnerable systems regarding human activities (e.g. agriculture, tourism, urbanization) leading to eutrophication. We analyse the relationship of waterbirds with locally measured or modelled environmental variables (nutrient load, fish production, jellyfish blooms) related with this process, in the Mar Menor lagoon (Murcia, SE Spain), and discuss the...
