A Multiscale Remote-Sensing Assessment of Root-Zone Soil Moisture, Evapotranspiration and Canopy Moisture Stress Across Uruguay During the 2020–2023 Drought
Drought affects meteorological forcing, root-zone water availability and land-surface functioning at different spatial and temporal supports. We evaluated Uruguay’s 2020–2023 drought using an observational 2016–2024 panel of 1423 SMAP parent cells. Monthly SPEI-3, SPEI-6 and SPEI-12 represented short, intermediate and...
