Martinique Subnational NDVI: Dekadal Vegetation Indices and Anomalies

A source of dekadal NDVI indicators for Martinique's sub-national administrative units, derived from NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite imagery. Produced by the World Food Programme (WFP), the records include 10-day vegetation indices and long-term averages updated as of March 2026. The data is aggregated using WFP-defined administrative boundaries and includes standardized Pcode references.

Use Cases

• Monitoring agricultural health by comparing current vim values against the vim_lta long-term average
• Identifying drought conditions using the viq anomaly percentage column
• Validating spatial data reliability using the n_pixels count for each administrative unit

Strengths

• Uses NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite data for high-resolution inputs
• Includes Pcode references for standardized administrative mapping
• Provides pixel counts in the n_pixels column to indicate data density per unit

Limitations

• Geographic scope is restricted solely to Martinique
• Aggregated nature obscures intra-unit vegetation variance
