Africa monthly 10-min normalized difference vegetation index
dataset is part of the NOAA project that was developed by the World
Data Center-A (WDC-A) for Solid Earth Geophysics, operated by the
U.S. National Geophysycal Data Center (NGDC). The dataset is part of
the World Data Bank II provided on a diskette called The Global Change
Data Base. The Data Bank II is part of larger project called Global
Ecosystems Database Project. This is a cooperation between the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NGDC and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The National Center for
Geographic Information and Analyses (NCGIA) in Santa Barbara,
California joined the project to assist with training and evaluation.
A scale was chosen to provide compatibility with other scales and
because this corresponds closely with the resolution of global AVHRR
coverage. All data are provided in geographic (longitude/latitude)
projection. The dataset is accompanied by an ASCII documentation file
which contains information necessary for use of the dataset in a GIS
or other software.
