Journal ArticleDOI
Recent trends in vegetation dynamics in the African Sahel and their relationship to climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated temporal and spatial patterns of vegetation greenness and rainfall variability in the African Sahel and their interrelationships based on analyses of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series for the period 1982-2003 and gridded satellite rainfall estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Sahelian vegetation dynamics using NOAA-AVHRR NDVI data from 1981–2003
TL;DR: In this article, a 23-year time series of Remotely sensed measurements from NOAA-AVHRR expressed as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) have been used for long-term studies of Sahel region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kenneth J. Linthicum,Assaf Anyamba,Compton J. Tucker,Patrick W. Kelley,Monica F. Myers,Clarence J. Peters +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of this record and Pacific and Indian Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies, coupled with satellite normalized difference vegetation index data, shows that prediction of Rift Valley fever outbreaks may be made up to 5 months in advance of outbreaks in East Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of a Rift Valley fever outbreak.
Assaf Anyamba,Jean-Paul Chretien,Jennifer Small,Compton J. Tucker,Pierre Formenty,Jason H. Richardson,Seth C. Britch,David Schnabel,Ralph L. Erickson,Kenneth J. Linthicum +9 more
TL;DR: A Rift Valley fever risk mapping model using El Niño/Southern Oscillation related climate anomalies predicted areas where outbreaks of RVF in humans and animals were expected and occurred in the Horn of Africa from December 2006 to May 2007, the first prospective prediction of a RVF outbreak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Global Croplands with Coarse Resolution Earth Observations: The Global Agriculture Monitoring (GLAM) Project
Inbal Becker-Reshef,Christopher O. Justice,Mark Sullivan,Eric Vermote,Compton J. Tucker,Assaf Anyamba,Jennifer Small,Edwin W. Pak,Edward J. Masuoka,Jeff Schmaltz,Matthew C. Hansen,Kyle Pittman,Charon Birkett,Derrick Williams,Curt Reynolds,Bradley Doorn +15 more
TL;DR: The operational components and new developments of the GLAM monitoring system as well as the future role of earth observations in global agricultural monitoring are discussed.
