A drought monitoring tool for South Asia
Original language description
Drought is one of the most extreme climatic events in South Asia (SA) and has affected 1,44 billion people in last 68 years. The agriculture in many areas of this region is highly dependent on rainfall, which increases the vulnerability to drought. To mitigate the impact of drought on agriculture and food security, this study aims to develop a state-of-the-art system for monitoring agricultural drought over SA at a high spatial resolution (0,25(circle)) in near real-time. This study currently focuses on the rain-fed area, and the impact of irrigation is not incorporated. This open and interactive tool can assist in monitoring the near-present soil moisture conditions, as well as assessing the historical drought conditions for better management. The South Asia Drought Monitor (SADM) runs the mesoscale hydrologic model to simulate the soil moisture using observation-based meteorological forcing (at near real-time), morphological variables, and land cover data. The soil moisture index (SMI) has been cal
