The technology of operative monitoring of vegetation based on satellite data was elaborated. MODIS satellite data was used as a basis for the monitoring. The information on vegetation status is analyzed and updated every week based on MODIS time series for the last 10 years comparing with long-term average. The technology was used for monitoring of vegetation (both agricultural and forest) affected by drought 2010 in Russia. The regions where the vegetation was affected by drought were delineated. The acreage of affected vegetation was assessed based on satellite data.
Keywords: MODIS, satellite monitoring of vegetation, drought
