Kiribati Subnational NDVI: 10-Day Vegetation Indicators and Anomalies

Kiribati dekadal NDVI indicators aggregated by sub-national administrative units, produced by the World Food Programme (WFP). The data utilizes NASA’s MODIS collection 6.1 satellite imagery to track vegetation health across 10-day intervals.

Use Cases

• Monitoring vegetation health using the `vim` column
• Identifying drought conditions through the `viq` anomaly percentage
• Comparing current growth against historical baselines using `vim_lta`

Strengths

• Uses NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite data
• Includes historical baseline comparisons via `vim_lta`
• Provides `n_pixels` to quantify the data source density for each aggregate

Limitations

• Geographic scope is restricted to Kiribati
• 10-day temporal resolution limits analysis of rapid daily changes
