Datasets: 12 years (1983-1994) AVHRR NDVI and climate indices
from a cluster of six WMO stations in Northwest Syria.
Methods: Compute the correlation coefficients
( R ) between April, May and June NDVI and 16 climate
indices. Select the three most important climate indices.
Results: Winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) precipitation and minimum temperature
and Spring (Feb, Mar, Apr) precipitation influence specific vegetation zones in different
months
