In order to determine if the remote sensing drought monitoring could be used in northeast China,the latest Landsat 8 satellite images in Anda,Heilongjiang were used to establish Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index(TVDI) and Modified Perpendicular Drought Index(MPDI),and validated and compared with ground soil moisture data samples.The results show that the TVDI and MPDI based on Landsat 8 data are both feasible for drought monitoring in study area,and the monitoring precision of TVDI is higher than MPDI.This work is hoped to facilitate application of Landsat 8 data in drought monitoring in northeast area of China and contribute to the decision-making of Chinese government when confronting drought disasters.
