Estimating relations between AVHRR NDVI and rainfall in East Africa at 10-day and monthly time scales

Temporal relations between AVHRR NDVI and rainfall data over East Africa at 10-day and monthly time scales have been analysed using distributed lag models. On average, only 10 per cent of the variation in 10-day NDVI values could be explained by concurrent and preceding rainfall. Corresponding values for monthly data was 36 per cent. If it is assumed that rainfall data can be used as an indicator of vegetation development the study indicates that AVHRR NDVI may have limitations for temporal vegetation monitoring in these environments.
