Description
Dekadal NDVI indicators for Cabo Verde aggregated by sub-national administrative units using NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite data. Produced by the World Food Programme, the data tracks vegetation health through 10-day indices, long-term averages, and percentage anomalies. The records are linked to standardized administrative Pcodes for geospatial integration.
Use Cases
Assessing vegetation stress by analyzing the NDVI anomaly percentage (viq) across different administrative units
Comparing current vegetation levels (vim) against historical norms (vim_lta) to identify drought trends
Mapping agricultural productivity zones using Pcode references linked to sub-national units
Strengths
Derived from NASA MODIS collection 6.1 high-quality satellite imagery
Includes Pcode references for interoperability with WFP geospatial datasets
Provides pixel counts (n_pixels) to assess the statistical basis of each aggregate
Limitations
Spatial aggregation to administrative levels obscures sub-unit vegetation variance
Temporal coverage start date is not specified in the provided metadata
