DroughtView
DroughtView is a tool that allows users to compare vegetation and climate data for any region of interest in the USA, northern Mexico and southern Canada. DroughtView allows users to monitor and prepare for drought by viewing a variety of vegetation indices that are related to factors including growth, density, and type. Users can compare the difference in vegetation greeness between different time periods at a pasture scale (200-500m). Users can simultaneously look at climate data including drought severity and amount of precipitation, as well as fire boundaries, rangeland productivity (lbs/ac), and land ownership boundaries.
