Description
Giving access to dekadal (10-day) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicators for the Philippines, aggregated by sub-national administrative units using NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite data. Produced by the World Food Programme (WFP), the records include current vegetation health, long-term averages, and percentage anomalies. The data is structured for humanitarian monitoring and was last updated in March 2026.
Use Cases
Monitoring agricultural drought conditions by comparing vim against vim_lta
Identifying regions with significant vegetation stress using the viq anomaly percentage
Linking environmental health to food security outcomes via Pcode-based administrative joins
Strengths
Uses NASA MODIS collection 6.1, a high-standard satellite data source
Includes Pcode references for direct integration with WFP administrative boundary datasets
Provides n_pixels column to assess the data density of each aggregate
Limitations
Aggregated at the sub-national level, which masks local-scale vegetation variance
Tropical cloud cover may impact the number of valid pixels available for specific dekads
Provenance
Source
NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) collection 6.1
