Multiscale Hydrologic Remote Sensing: Perspectives and Applications
7.5  CONCLUSIONS
This chapter has presented a spatial and temporal, synergistic investigation between
two types of drought indices associated with two satellite-based LULC maps of part
of the Laizhou Bay in Shandong, China, in 1987 and 2000. With the aid of advanced
contemporary remote sensing technologies, cross linkages and cross comparisons
