摘要

The socioeconomic and ecological consequences of drought are substantial. Vigilance in soil moisture surveillance is instrumental for effectual drought governance. The manuscript delineates a novel stratagem to devise a drought surveillance mechanism deploying granular SMAP L4 soil moisture datasets. This technique introduces the computation of a standardized soil moisture index (SSMI) that segregates drought into quintuple classifications. Periodic, hebdomadal modifications reflect the dynamism in pedosphere aridity. Comparative analyzes corroborate the congruence with extant aridity indicators, endorsing its utility in strategic drought response endeavors. The method’s adaptability is noteworthy, as it permits employment in regions bereft of comprehensive terrestrial monitoring systems.
