Abstract
Drought monitoring is one of important researching areas. The soil moisture data retrieved from AMSR-E and SPI both can be employed as the indexes for drought monitoring. In this paper, they are compared in temporal and spatial variation in the hilly area of central Sichuan basin for 2006-2008. The results show that in general they agree well in temporal and spatial distribution. They both indicate that the hilly area of central Sichuan basin was wetter in the spring and summer and drier in winter. Besides, they become greater from the northwest to southeast of the study area.
