This map depicts global vegetation for the month of May, 1996.  The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is used to measure vegetation intensity using a ratio of infra-red and visible red bands of data.  Two NDVI datasets were used to create this image.  Each was a 10-day composite, 8 km, AVHRR image, one early and one late May 1996.  The two datasets were composited to construct the above image.
