Brief description
Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images from Feb. 1991 have been compiled by processing and compositing AVHRR data from the Alice Springs receiving station to a nominal 1km resolution. The NDVI equation produces values in the range of -1.0 to 1.0, where increasing positive values indicate increasing green vegetation and negative values indicate nonvegetated surface features such as water, barren land, ice, and snow or clouds. Each image is compiled from AVHRR data collected over a fortnight.Lineage

Statement: Tapes containing raw AVHRR data are shipped to Hobart from the Alice Springs reception station. The tapes are copied and reformatted into the Hobart raw AVHRR format, and then a fortnight's passes are composited into the final product.
