Mean of the Top Ten Percent of NDVI Values in the Yuma Proving Ground during Monsoon Season, 1986-2011.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: This study uses growth in vegetation during the monsoon season measured from LANDSAT imagery as a proxy for measured rainfall. NDVI values from 26 years of pre- and post-monsoon season Landsat imagery were derived across Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) in southwestern Arizona, USA. The LANDSAT imagery (1986-2011) was downloaded from USGS s GlobeVis website (http://glovis.usgs.gov/). Change in NDVI was calculated within a set of 2,843 Riparian Area Polygons (RAPs) up to 1 km in length defined in ESRI ArcMap 10.2. Because this work resulted from a Masters Thesis at Colorado State University, data will also be served to the public by CSU at https://dspace.library.colostate.edu/handle/10217/170347.; abstract: This study uses growth in vegetation during the monsoon season measured from LANDSAT imagery as a proxy for measured rainfall.
