Professor Kyle McDonald of City College coauthored a paper in Remote Sensing of Environment:
ASCAT MetOp-A diurnal backscatter observations of recent vegetation drought patterns over the contiguous U.S.: An assessment of spatial extent and relationship with precipitation and crop yield
- •Satellite backscatter was evaluated for drought detection over the contiguous U.S.
- •Backscatter, precipitation and crop yield time series data were well-correlated.
- •Diurnal backscatter differences vanished during periods of acute drought.
