Monitoring global vegetation using NOAA-7 AVHRR dataThe NOAA-7 polar orbiting, sun-synchronous, operational satellite carries the 5 channel Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Data are acquired globally at a resolution of 4 km on a daily basis. This data provides the means of frequently monitoring global vegetation on continental scales. Techniques for compositing and cloud screening a vegetation index for Africa are presented. The sample data set covers 9 days beginning August 16, 1983 and is compared with a semi-operational vegetation index product produced by NOAA.
