#### Description

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index is
generated from the Near-IR and Red bands of each scene as (NIR - Red) /
(NIR + Red), and ranges in value from -1.0 to 1.0. This product is generated from the MODIS/006/MOD09GA surface reflectance composites.

### Bands

**Bands**

Pixel size: 463.313 meters (all bands)

| Name | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `NDVI` | -1\* | 1\* | 463.313 meters | Normalized Difference Vegetation Index |

\* estimated min or max value

Python setup

See the [Python Environment](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install) page for information on the Python API and using
`geemap` for interactive development.

```python
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
```
