VIIRS/NPP Vegetation Indices 8-Day L3 Global 500m SIN Grid
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/viirs/vnp13a4n.002
The VIIRS Near Real Time (NRT) Vegetation Indices 8-Day L3 Global 500m SIN Grid data, short-name VNP13A4N are provided everyday at 500-meter spatial resolution as a gridded level-3 product in the Sinusoidal projection.
Description
Vegetation indices are used for global monitoring of vegetation conditions and are used in products displaying land cover and land cover changes. These data may be used as input for modeling global biogeochemical and hydrologic processes and global and regional climate.
These data also may be used for characterizing land surface biophysical properties and processes including primary production and land cover conversion.
