Global Vegetation Index 1983-1990
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The NOAA/GVI (Global Vegetation Index; see reference pg. 3) Eight-Year Mean Maximum data set was developed in the following manner.
Description
First, eight years of NOAA/GVI Monthly Maximum data were obtained from GRID's Geneva archive of these data*. At GRID-Nairobi, an analyst then used these data files (12 per year) to calculate yearly mean maximum images, and the eight yearly mean images were averaged in their turn, in order to create a single eight-year mean maximum image.
The original idea had been to produce an eight-year :hp2.maximum:ehp2. value image, but this was abandoned due to the accretion of "noise" from spurious maximum-value pixels in the individual data files (UNEP/GRID, 1990).

- - GRID-Geneva has compiled an archive of NOAA/GVI Weekly data from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service / National Climate Data Center / Satellite Data Services Division (or the NOAA / NESDIS / NCDC / SDSD). This collection covers the period from April 1982 to present. At GRID-Geneva, the Weekly data are used to create Monthly, Seasonal and Annual Maximum images, in addition to the archived NOAA/GVI Weekly data.
