Uzbekistan Subnational NDVI: Dekadal Vegetation Indices and Anomalies

Dekadal NDVI indicators for Uzbekistan's sub-national administrative units, derived from NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite imagery. Produced by the World Food Programme (WFP), the data tracks vegetation health and anomalies at 10-day intervals. The records are organized by WFP-defined administrative boundaries and were last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Monitoring drought conditions by analyzing the viq (NDVI anomaly) column
• Assessing seasonal vegetation growth cycles using the vim (10-day NDVI) values
• Evaluating data reliability per region using the n_pixels column

Strengths

• Derived from NASA MODIS collection 6.1 high-quality satellite data
• Includes Pcode references for standardized administrative unit mapping
• Provides long-term averages (vim_lta) for historical comparison

Limitations

• Spatial resolution is limited to administrative unit aggregates rather than raw pixels
• Dependent on WFP-specific administrative boundary definitions which may differ from official government maps
