The satellite index for the detection of climatic extrema (Satellite Climatic Extremes Index, SCEI) - drought and overmoistening after a heavy precipitation over drylands was proposed. SCEI calculated as the sum of deviations from a long-term average albedo and surface temperature, NDVI, soil moisture, normalized to standard deviation. Peculiarities of the index for studying the dynamics of desertification with an example from Kuma Manych depression were discussed.
Keywords: satellite index of climate extremes, drought, overmoistening, albedo and surface temperature, NDVI, soil moisture, MODIS, drylands, Kuma-Manych depression
