Abstract:MODIS data from April to September were used to build EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index)-LST (Land Surface Temperature) feature space and calculate temperature vegetation drought index (TVDI) which modified by digital elevation Model (DEM). Based on the correlation between modified TVDI (MTVDI), relative soil moisture and precipitation, the applicability of MTVDI in monitoring drought in Hebei was discussed. The results showed that: (1) the modified EVI-LST feature space was more in line with the triangle relationship and closer to the TVDI Schematic diagram by DEM. (2) The correlation between MTVDI and soil moisture were 0.09 higher than TVDI and soil moisture and the spatial matching degree was above 0.9, indicating MTVDI has the ability to reflect the dry and wet conditions of soil. (3) MTVDI had negative correlation with precipitation, and it showed that MTVDI can represent drought in Hebei to a certain extent from the meteorological view. (4) From the perspective of the 2019 drought event, MTVDI can show the development of drought from northeast to all area of Hebei. In conclusion, MTVDI can reflect the agricultural drought in Hebei. Our study can provide scientific reference for the operation of drought monitoring and the strategy of drought relief.
