Satellite-based drought monitoring and warning system

Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, Japan

About this site

This is system is an application of space based technology (SBT) in the implementation of the Core Agriculture Support Program.
The benefit of this system are to develop satellite-based drought monitoring and early warning system (DMEWS) for Asian Pacific counties using freely available data, and to develop capacity of policy makers in those countries to apply the developed system in policy making.
