Drought was a severe recurring phenomenon in Iraq over the past two decades due to climate change despite fact that has been one of most water-rich countries Middle East past. The Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR) is located north Iraq, which also suffered from extreme drought. In this study, drought severity status Sulaimaniyah Province, four provinces IKR, investigated for years 1998 2017. Thus, L...

A primary goal of many remote sensing projects is to characterize the type, size and condition of vegetation present within a region. By combining data from two or more spectral bands we obtain what is commonly known as a vegetation index (VI), which enhances the vegetation signal, while minimizing solar irradiance and soil background effects. This study addresses the computation of Normalized ...

Normalized difference vegetation index data from the polar-orbiting National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorological satellites from 1982 to 1999 show significant variations in photosynthetic activity and growing season length at latitudes above 35 degrees N. Two distinct periods of increasing plant growth are apparent: 1982-1991 and 1992-1999, separated by a reduction from 1991 t...

This study has been undertaken to measure land cover change in Kinwat wildlife sanctuary, Nanded using NDVI. Remote Sensing and Image processing technologies enable us cope with the objectives of detection. Most changes vegetation are happening earth close proximity human inhabitations.

Normalized difference vegetation index data from the polar-orbiting National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorological satellites from 1982 to 1999 show significant variations in photosynthetic activity and growing season length at latitudes > 35 N. Two distinct periods of increasing plant growth were apparent: 1982 to 1991 and 1992 to 1999, separated by a reduction from 1991 to 199...
