Honduras Sub-national NDVI and Vegetation Anomalies by Dekad

Delivering dekadal (10-day) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicators for Honduras, aggregated by sub-national administrative units using NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite data. Produced by the World Food Programme (WFP), the records include long-term averages and percentage anomalies to track vegetation health over time. The data is current as of March 2026 and utilizes WFP-standardized administrative boundaries.

Use Cases

• Monitoring agricultural drought by comparing vim against vim_lta
• Analyzing vegetation health trends using the viq anomaly percentage
• Validating regional environmental models using the n_pixels count for data reliability

Strengths

• Uses NASA MODIS collection 6.1 high-quality satellite imagery
• Includes n_pixels column to indicate the data density of each aggregate
• Standardized WFP Pcode references for easy joining with other humanitarian datasets

Limitations

• Aggregated nature masks local-scale vegetation variations within administrative units
• Dependent on cloud-free satellite observations which may affect n_pixels count and data reliability
