MODIS Aqua Daily NDVI [deprecated]

  • This MODIS Aqua Daily NDVI dataset is deprecated and has been replaced by a newer version (MODIS/MYD09GA_006_NDVI).

  • It provides daily Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values globally from 2002-07-04 to 2017-03-30.

  • NDVI is calculated as (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red) and ranges from -1.0 to 1.0, indicating vegetation health.

  • The dataset is freely available for research, education, and non-profit use through Google Earth Engine.

  • Data is derived from MODIS/MYD09GA surface reflectance composites with a pixel size of 463.313 meters.
