TL;DR: Results show that rainfall in Guanacaste reached an all-time low in 2015 over a 64-yr record, resulting in NDVI declines, but ET and ESI did not show significant anomalies relative to a baseline, drought-free period, highlighting the value of using multiple measures to assess ecosystem responses to drought.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework of vegetation response to a recent drought in Guanacaste, Costa Rica was developed and applied to a case study of a recent dry season in Costa Rica.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate scalable and replicable methods to advance and integrate the use of earth observation (EO), specifically ongoing efforts within the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Work Programme and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Work Plan, to support risk-informed decision-making, based on documented national and subnational needs and requirements.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examine two examples in which NASA Earth science satellite data and remote-sensing technology are used to improve the management of water availability and quality, and show how these insights could be adopted by NASA through a conceptual framework that charts individual-and organizational-level integration milestones alongside technical milestones.
