Characterizing the Response of Vegetation Cover to Water Limitation in Africa Using Geostationary Satellites

Abstract Hydrological interactions between vegetation, soil, and topography are complex, and heterogeneous in semi‐arid landscapes. This along with data scarcity poses challenges for large‐scale modeling of vegetation‐water interactions. Here, we exploit metrics derived from daily Meteosat data over...
