This manuscript aims to develop a new multivariate composite index for monitoring agricultural drought. To achieve this, the AVHRR, VIIRS, CHIRPS data series over period of 40 years, rainfall and crop yield as references were used. Variables include parameters vegetative stress (SVCI, PV, SMN), water (PCI, RDI, NRDI), heat (SMT, TCI, STCI), variable related environmental conditions was calculat...
