Normalised Difference Vegetation Index 2014-present (raster 300 m), global, 10-daily - version 3

The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a widely used, dimensionless index that is indicative for vegetation greeness and is defined as NDVI=(NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red) where NIR corresponds to the reflectance in the near infrared bands, and Red to the reflectance in the red bands.

The product provides 10-daily estimates available at global scale in the spatial resolution of 300 m and with the temporal extent from 2014 to present.

Purpose

This product is first designed to fit the requirements of the Global component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring service. It can be

also useful for all applications related to environment monitoring.

Credit

NDVI products are generated by the Land Monitoring Service of Copernicus, the Earth Observation programme of the European Commission. The research leading to the current version of the product has received funding from various European Commission Research and Technical Development programs. The product is based on PROBA-V 333m data (copyright BELSPO and distribution by ESA) and Sentinel-3 333m data (copyright EU Copernicus and distribution by ESA).

Credit

The product is based on Copernicus Sentinel-3 data (copyright governed by the Legal notice on the use of Copernicus Sentinel Data and Service Information - https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/documents/247904/690755/Sentinel_Data_Legal_Notice).

The Copernicus component is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.



The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013.



Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that:



1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services.



2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this.



3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union.

Statement

The NDVI is calculated from global, 10-daily, BRDF normalised, top-of-canopy reflectances derived from four bands of Sentinel-3 / OLCI optical observations. Prior to NDVI calculation, the two narrow RED TOC-r bands and the two narrow NIR TOC-r bands are converted to a broad RED and NIR reflectance by averaging. The NDVI is calculated using the RED and NIR reflectance values while filtering sea pixels, out-of-range and missing input reflectances. When less-than-optimal input reflectances are used, this is indicated as a quality flag.
