Vegetation Index and Phenology (VIP) Data Dictionary
The Data Dictionaries are a set of information describing the contents, format, and structure of elements for EarthExplorer products.
- Field Definition: The last day of data acquisition.
Format:
YYYY/MM/DD
- Field Definition: The first day of data acquisition.
Format:
YYYY/MM/DD
- Field Definition: The latitude and longitude are provided in decimal degrees for the following fields:
Scene Center Latitude and Longitude
Northeast (NE) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Northwest (NW) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Southeast (SE) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Southwest (SW) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Latitude Format Decimal Degrees: -90.000 through 90.000
Longitude Format Decimal Degrees: -180.000 through 180.000
Number of decimal places will vary by dataset – check collection in EE.
Coordinates - Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
- Field Definition: The latitude and longitude of the scene in degrees, minutes, and seconds for the following fields:
Values:
Scene Center Latitude and Longitude
Northeast (NE) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Northwest (NW) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Southeast (SE) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Southwest (SW) Corner Latitude and Longitude
Longitude Format:
DDDMMSS.SSH
DDD = Degree(s) with a range of 0 through 180
MM = Minute(s) with a range of 0 through 59
SS.SS = Second(s) with a range of 0 through 59.99
H = Hemisphere with E for east and W for west
Latitude Format:
DDMMSS.SSH
DD = Degree(s) with a range of 0 through 90
MM = Minutes(s) with a range of 0 through 59
SS.SS = Second(s) with a range of 0 through 59.99
H = Hemisphere with N for north and S for south
- Field Definition: The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Authority provides the infrastructure for the registration and services for a persistent reference. The DOI Authority is used along with the DOI Name to view the associated URL for the product.
Example:
https://dx.doi.org
https://doi.org
- Field Definition: Digital Object Identifier is used to uniquely and permanently identify a dataset. The DOI name is more stable than a URL and is used as a permanent reference for the product. The DOI name can be entered into a DOI Authority system to view the associated URL for the product.
Example:
10.5067/MEaSUREs/VIP/VIPPHEN_EVI2.004
- Field Definition: The naming convention of each file is based on the Local Granule ID. The Entity ID may match the Local Granule ID for some data sets.
Format:
PPPPPPPP.AYYYYDDD.VVV.YYYYDDDHHMMSS.hdf
PPPPPPPP= Product Short Name (Number of characters may vary by data set)
AYYYY = Acquisition Year
DDD = Julian Day for Acquisition Start Date (not used for yearly products)
VVV = Version Number
YYYYDDDHHMMSS = Julian Date of Production
hdf = Data Format
Example:
VIPPHEN_EVI2.A2013.004.2016180135337.hdf
VIP01.A2014214.004.2016178012553.hdf
- Field Definition: The name of an individual file.
Format:
PPPPPPPP.AYYYYDDD.VVV.YYYYDDDHHMMSS.hdf
PPPPPPPP= Product Short Name (Number of characters may vary by data set)
AYYYY = Acquisition Year
DDD = Julian Day for Acquisition Start Date (not used for yearly products)
VVV = Version Number
YYYYDDDHHMMSS = Julian Date of Production
hdf = Data Format
