Vegetation indices - spectrometer - flightline (DP2.30026.001)

The Vegetation Indices data product is a collection of five spectral indices: NDVI, EVI, ARVI, PRI and SAVI. These indices use regions of reflectance spectra known to be indicators of vegetation health, vegetation health in high LAI areas, vegetation health in lush and/or humid regions, and vegetation health in mixed soil and vegetation landcover areas. The indices are derived from NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) Imaging Spectrometer (NIS) data collected in North-South oriented flight lines to reduce BRDF effects. These data are processed to orthorectified directional surface reflectance and then processed to the indices. L2 Vegetation Indices are distributed in the original North/South flight lines and are packaged as a zip file containing one GeoTIFF for each index.

Latency:
AOP data will be available 60 days after the final collection day at a site.
