Download Entire US Image - Compressed GeoTiff Format
Main | History | Limitations | Products | Sensors | Formats | Download



Starting with the 2004 season, the entire US NDVI composite for each biweekly period was converted to a GeoTiff image for use in geographic information systems software. (2006 will be loaded as the growing season progresses). As with the graphics products, these images are not water vapor corrected. Due to the size of these files (13-14 MB), each GeoTiff has been compressed into a "Tar" format file for easier download (4-5 MB). Filenames for download are arranged by biweekly 'Period' number within 'year'; numbers for comparable periods are shown in red in the table below.
