HLS Sentinel-2 Vegetation Indices Daily Global 30 Meter Resolution

HLSS30_VI is a vegetation indices product derived from the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 project, using data from the Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-2B, and Sentinel-2C satellites. It provides nine vegetation health indicators, including NDVI, EVI, and NBR, at a 30-meter spatial resolution with global coverage and observations every 2–3 days. The dataset is produced by NASA and is gridded in the MGRS tiling system for time series analysis.

Use Cases

• Tracking changes in vegetation over time based on daily global observations.
• Identifying areas of deforestation or vegetation stress based on indices like NDVI and NBR.
• Assessing crop health and productivity based on multiple vegetation health indicators.
• Monitoring land use and land cover changes based on consistent, stackable satellite data products.

Strengths

• Provides nine specific vegetation indices, including NDVI, EVI, SAVI, MSAVI, NDMI, NDWI, NBR, NBR2, and TVI.
• Offers global observations of land every 2–3 days at a consistent 30-meter spatial resolution.
• Products from Sentinel-2 and Landsat satellites are harmonized and 'stackable' for time series analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the satellite observation schedule.
