Quantifying Vegetation Responses to Rainfall Extremes in Sub-Saharan Africa Using CHIRPS Precipitation and MODIS NDVI

Rainfall variability strongly governs vegetation dynamics in the Semi-Arid Tropics (SAT) of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Yet the impacts of heavy rainfall are less well quantified than those of drought. This study proposes a modified heavy rainfall index (mR95pT) to enable robust comparison of extreme...
