Assessing vegetation response to climate variability via time series of NDVI, precipitation and soil moisture content KU Leuven
The forcing role of climate variability on vegetation was examined over East and Central Africa, using time series of satellite images and climate data. In search of a meteorological variable that best explains the temporal evolution of vegetation over multiple years, lagged correlations were tested between time series (1998-2011) of ten daily SPOT-VGT NDVI images and series of precipitation and soil moisture content from the ECMWF ERA-Interim ...
