Description
The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index product is derived from the differences in the VIS reflectances. The daily NDVI product estimates the land surface characteristics derived from satellite data. It is widely used to characterize the density and vigour of the given vegetation cover as well as to identify vegetation stress and drought. Note that no NDVI retrievals will be conducted in cloudy or night time conditions.
From 1 June 2022, Meteosat-9 at 45.5° E is the prime satellite for the IODC service, replacing Meteosat-8 (located at 41.5° E while in operation).
