Drought has frequently been witnessed in the country due to various environmental changes such as rise in atmospheric pollution and climatic changes.Based on MOD13 A3 and MOD11 A2 data,the temperature vegetation dryness index (TVDI)model was constructed and verified.This study used MODIS data for many years during the same period over India and Pakistan to build the feature space of normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)and land surface temperature(Ts),and fit dry and wet edge equations in the feature space.The TVDI was calculated over India and Pakistan of hot season(from March to May)from 2009 to 2014.In addition,the TVDI drought level standard is graded to analyze its temporal and spatial variation characteristics with using land use type and terrain data.TVDI is verified using the precipitation data from meteorological sites, and TVDI is contrasted with the standard precipitation index(SPI).The results show that:1)from the drought area statistics, the study region is mainly moderate drought,the area proportion of other grades is smaller;2)from the land use type,the land cover of entire district is good,the TVDI has certain rationality as drought evaluation index for study area;3)from meteorological sites,the inversion of TVDI from NDVI-Ts feature space and the total precipitation of the prophase and same period are closely related.
