NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Version 4

This dataset contains gridded daily Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from the NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Surface Reflectance. The dataset spans from 1981 to 10 days from the present using data from seven NOAA polar orbiting satellites: NOAA-7, -9, -11, -14, -16, -17, and -18. The data are projected on a 0.05 degree x 0.05 degree global grid. The Version 4 Land Surface CDR products were produced by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the University of Maryland. The product was converted from HDF to netCDF-4 with CF metadata, and is accompanied by algorithm documentation, data flow diagram and source code for the NOAA CDR Program.
