Abstract

Aurangabad district is part of Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The region suffers with frequent drought occurrences resulting in substantial crop yield losses. The times series analysis of the satellite imagery is helpful in monitoring the short term and long-term changes and understand the reasons for recurrent drought occurrences. In this study we analyze time series multispectral data products obtained from MODIS the spectroradiometer on board Terra. The dataset of MOD13Q6 (2001–2020) 250 m for the Aurangabad region is investigated using remote sensing indices VCI and SVI. The statistical tools and techniques were implemented to understand if there is any drought recurrence pattern over the years and then time series regression analysis of both the VCI and SVI indices were done to find out which remote sensing index gives better results. After comparing the results of two indices it is confirmed that though both indices gave same results for some statistical tests. The Generalized Linear Regression analysis performance of SVI is better and can be used for predicting the vegetation condition to some extent. Although the accuracy of such prediction is low because of the unpredictability of the climatic variables and the changing dynamics of the land use due to urbanization and human induced factors. This study was also useful in understanding the limitations of Satellite imagery and vegetation indices.
