Assessing Impacts of Flood and Drought over the Punjab Region of Pakistan Using Multi-Satellite Data Products

The Punjab region of Pakistan faced significant losses from flash flooding in 2010 and experienced a multiyear drought during 1998–2002. current study illustrates the flood conditions using multi-satellite data products derived Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) as well TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) satellites with high-quality resolution 2010–2014. To determine events, we used Vegetation Temperature Condition Index (VTCI) monitoring approach combined Normalized Difference (NDVI) Land Surface (LST) to identify warm cold edges (WACE) provision soil moisture VTCI imagery MODIS-Aqua products. We assessed effect on four years (2011–2014) winter wheat crop seasons. obtained precipitation were utilized validate year 2011–2014 winter-wheat-crop season. It is worth mentioning that over Julian day~D-041 year, shows stronger link accumulative anomaly (r = 0.77). was found for D-201 relationship nonlinear, D-217, there negative which revealed timing, duration, intensity. For D-281, correlation 0.97) noted fall 2010, showed extreme season In regard Global Flood Monitoring System (GFMS) model employs TMPA display events results. This study’s spatial temporal observations based observed results MODIS, TRMM, are good agreement dry wet runoff stream flow demonstrates high intensity compared normality complete establishment weather extremes 2011–2014, thereby highlighting natural hazards impacts. Our findings show harvest affected by monsoon’s summer rain floods plain (Pakistan).
