VegDRI - 1km - Weekly¶
Description¶
The Vegetation Drought Response Index (VegDRI) is a weekly geospatial model that depicts drought stress on vegetation within the conterminous United States. The development of the VegDRI drought-monitoring tool was a collaborative effort by scientists at the USGS EROS Center, the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska, and the High Plains Regional Climate Center (HPRCC).
