This sensor, known as the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), has a daily repeat cycle and, despite its name, a 1-km resolution (an AVHRR image pixel represents 1 square km of land surface). AVHRR data are used to generate NDVI-based images of the planet's land surface on a regular basis, thereby creating image series that portray seasonal and annual changes to vegetation worldwide. AVHRR NDVI data are available in a consistently processed database from 1982-present at an 8-km re-sampling grid covering the entire planet, and from 1989-present at a 1-km resolution for the conterminous United States." } ], "funder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Remote Sensing Phenology", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/remote-sensing-phenology" }, "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Methods and Analysis" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Vegetation Indices" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Remote Sensing Phenology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Information Systems" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Science Technology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Maps and Mapping" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "earth resources observation and science center" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "vegetation indices" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "NDVI" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Climate" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Energy" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Environmental Health" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Water" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Geology" } ]
