Agricultural drought monitoring is paramount in order to maintain food security in Indonesia, particularly in Subang and Karawang as the national rice production centers. In this paper, satellite-borne remote sensing data are tested for monitoring drought extent in about 184.486 ha of both regencies. Vegetation Health Index (VHI), a vegetative drought indices based on remote sensing data, is studied in this case using long term sequence of 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 dry season Landsat data. VHI collates overall vegetation health, which in turn suitable to indicate agricultural drought extent. It measures either moisture vegetation/vegetation condition (VCI) or thermal condition of vegetation (TCI). Both indices were derived from Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and land surface temperature (LST) data respectively. The results revealed that VHI decreased more than 50 percent, from 30.86 in 2000 to 14.66 in 2015. This figure indicated drought extent intensified in research area, from mild drought to severe drought. The severity was mainly triggered by the rising LST from 27°C in 2000 to 40°C in 2015. In addition, there was a decreasing tendency of NDVI values in recent years, leading agricultural fields more susceptible to drought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
