Vegetation index

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009962

A numerical indicator derived from satellite remote sensing data that quantifies the greenness and health of vegetation. These indices typically use the differential reflectance of vegetation in the red and near-infrared spectral bands. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a widely used example, ranging from -1 to +1, where higher values indicate denser and healthier vegetation.
