HLS Operational Land Imager Vegetation Indices Daily Global 30 m V2.0
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/hls/hlsl30_vi.002
The Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) project provides consistent data products from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the joint NASA/USGS Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites and the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) aboard Europe’s Copernicus Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-2B, and Sentinel-2C satellites.
Description
The combined measurement enables global observations of the land every 1.6 days at 30 meter (m) spatial resolution.
The HLSL30 Vegetation Indices (HLSL30_VI) product is derived from Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 OLI data products. Vegetation indices combine specific bands of satellite data to quantify various aspects of vegetation. Analysis of vegetation indices allows for tracking changes in vegetation over time, identifying areas of stress or deforestation, and assessing crop health.

Vegetation indices provide a reliable and efficient means of understanding the complex dynamics of vegetation health. The HLSS30_VI and HLSL30_VI products are gridded to the same resolution and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) tiling system and thus are “stackable” for time series analysis. The HLSL30_VI product is provided in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format, and each variable is distributed as a separate file.
Nine indicators of vegetation health are included in the HLSL30_VI product: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR), Normalized Burn Ratio 2 (NBR2), and Triangular Vegetation Index (TVI).
See the User Guide for a more detailed description of the individual vegetation health variables provided in the HLSL30_VI product. The HLS project is funded by NASA’s Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG) which provides data products developed to meet the needs of stakeholders from US government agencies.
