Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from Oceansat-2 Ocean Color Monitor (OCM)

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a numerical indicator that uses the visible and near-infrared bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, and is adopted to analyze remote sensing measurements and assess whether the target being observed contains live green vegetation or not. NDVI has found a wide application in vegetative studies as it has been used to estimate crop yields, pasture performance, and rangeland carrying capacities among others. This data is derived from Oceansat-2 OCM which operates in eight spectral bands in VNIR bands with 1Km spatial resolution and swath of 1420 kms.
