Long-Term Arctic Growing Season NDVI Trends from GIMMS 3g, 1982-2012
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data for the Arctic growing season were derived primarily from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors onboard several NOAA satellites over the years 1982 through 2012. The NDVI data were averaged annually for the arctic growing season (GS; June, July and August). The products include the annual GS-NDVI values and the results of a cumulative GS-NDVI time series trends analysis. The data are at 8-km resolution and the study area includes the Arctic and the Northern Hemisphere above 20 degrees N.
