New-ID: NBI42 NOAA monthly Normalized Vegetation Index (NDVI) for Africa.
Description
NOAA Monthly 10-Min Normalized Vegetation Index Dataset (APRIL 1985 - DECEMBER 1988) Files: AFAPR85.IMG-AFDEC85.IMG Code: 100041-001 AFJAN86.IMG-AFDEC86.IMG 100041-001 AFJAN87.IMG-AFDEC87.IMG 100041-001 AFJAN88.IMG-AFDEC88.IMG 100041-001 Raster Members The IMG files are in IDRISI format Africa monthly 10-min normalized difference vegetation index dataset is part of the NOAA project that was developed by the World Data Center-A (WDC-A) for Solid Earth Geophysics, operated by the U.S. National Geophysycal Data Center (NGDC).
The dataset is part of the World Data Bank II provided on a diskette called The Global Change Data Base. The Data Bank II is part of larger project called Global Ecosystems Database Project. This is a cooperation between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NGDC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The National Center for Geographic Information and Analyses (NCGIA) in Santa Barbara, California joined the project to assist with training and evaluation. A scale was chosen to provide compatibility with other scales and because this corresponds closely with the resolution of global AVHRR coverage. All data are provided in geographic (longitude/latitude) projection.
The dataset is accompanied by an ASCII documentation file which contains information necessary for use of the dataset in a GIS or other software.
