|
The Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program (KARS) uses satellite data to produce a weekly map series called the GreenReport®, which illustrates current and relative vegetation conditions and trends for the conterminous U.S. Since 2002, KARS has also used these satellite data to forecast district, state, and national level crop yields for eight major crops in the U.S. The Greenness Map is derived from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [NDVI] calculated from MODIS data. This map can be used to monitor vegetation growth and change throughout the growing season.
