Description

VegDRI, short for Vegetation Drought Response Index, is a drought-monitoring tool developed by scientists at EROS in collaboration with the National Drought Mitigation Center and the High Plains Regional Climate Center, with sponsorship from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency. VegDRI maps, produced every two weeks, combine satellite-based observations of vegetation conditions with climate and environmental data to provide drought information for the conterminous United States.
