All this week, we will be highlighting the Scientific Visualization Studio at NASA’s Goddard Flight Center at the 8am time slot. The SVS has released its latest visualization of the health of plant life from space.
Satellite data can be used to monitor the health of plant life from space. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) provides a simple numerical indicator of the health of vegetation which can be used to monitoring changes in vegetation over time. This animation shows the seasonal changes in vegetation by fading between average monthly NDVI data from 2004.
