Vegetation, Water and Climate Dynamics
Vegetation, Water and Climate Dynamics
At EROS we use satellite, climate, and environmental data to study the health and extent of crops, forests, mangroves, grasslands, and other types of vegetation, and to document how plant communities are changing over time. We work with other agencies to map water resources, monitor water use, and assess the risk of drought in locations across the country and around the world.

USGS EROS Archive - Vegetation Monitoring - NOAA CDR NDVI
Daily global Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images and data based on surface reflectance derived from data acquired by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on NOAA’s polar orbiting weather satellites (1981-2013).
USGS EROS Archive - Vegetation Monitoring - eMODIS Remote Sensing Phenology
An annual record of nine historical Remote Sensing Phenology metrics for the conterminous United States is available at a resolution of 250 m for products derived from eMODIS data (2001-present).
USGS EROS Archive - Vegetation Monitoring - EROS Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (eMODIS)
The EROS Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (eMODIS) collection is based on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data acquired by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Earth Observing System (EOS). Note: The eMODIS datasets are no longer being produced after October 1st, 2022. These datasets will remain available for historic reference only...
USGS EROS Archive - Vegetation Monitoring - AVHRR Remote Sensing Phenology

USGS EROS Archive - Digital Elevation - Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010)
The Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) provides a new level of detail in global topographic data. The GMTED2010 product suite contains seven new raster elevation products for each of the 30-, 15-, and 7.5-arc-second spatial resolutions and incorporates the current best available global elevation data.
USGS EROS Archive - Digital Elevation - Elevation Derivatives for National Applications (EDNA) Seamless Three-Dimensional Hydrologic Database
Elevation Derivatives for National Applications (EDNA) is a seamless, nationwide, multi-layered three-dimensional (3D) hydrologic database derived from a version of the National Elevation Dataset.
USGS EROS Archive - AVHRR Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Composites
Weekly and biweekly NDVI composites based on 1-km AVHRR data (1989 to 2019). To all users of AVHRR composites. The NOAA 19 satellite which currently supports the AVHRR sensor has been degrading in orbit to the point where the nadir view is on the day night terminator within its orbit.
USGS EROS Archive - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer - AVHRR
1-km multispectral data from the NOAA satellite series. (1979 to 2019) To all users of AVHRR composites. The NOAA 19 satellite which currently supports the AVHRR sensor has been degrading in orbit to the point where the nadir view is on the day night terminator within its orbit.
