Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from 2017 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) data for the central Arizona region

This project calculates the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from 2017 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery (1-meter resolution) for the central Arizona region. Because of their large size, data (as GeoTIFF files) for each survey year are provided as fifteen individual tiles each comprising a portion of the overall coverage area. An index of the relative position of each tile in the coverage area is provided as a pdf, png, and kml where the tile index contains a portion of the GeoTIFF file name (e.g., the relative position of the data file NAIP_NDVI_CAP2017-0000000000-0000000000.tif to the overall coverage area is identified by the index id 0000000000-0000000000 in the pdf, png, and kml index map). Javascript code used to process NDVI values is included with this dataset. This data set is one in a series of NDVI and SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) data sets for the central Arizona region spanning multiple years (2010-2017). Related data are available through the Environmental Data Initiative - see resouce listing in the methods of this data set for references.
