Abstract

Droughts on the territory of Russia and their impact on the crop productivity are briefly described. Drought risk maps and the current and future drought indices are discussed. The Russian drought monitoring system based on the ground information is considered. The possibility of using satellite data for the operational drought monitoring is assessed. The results of the evaluation of the crop state and droughts based on surface and satellite data are given.
