Integrated drought monitoring and assessment using multi-sensor and multi-temporal earth observation datasets: a case study of two agriculture-dominated states of India.

In the current scenario of climate change, there has been a substantial increase in the frequency and severity of drought events. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate spatio-temporal characteristics of different drought events to plan for water resource utilization. The present study aims to assess and quantify the impact of meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural drought events from 2001 to 2017 over two large states of India (i.
