  • Relative Greenness Maps (RG) - Portray how green the vegetation is compared to how green it has been historically (1989-2003). Because each pixel is normalized to its own historical range, all areas (dry to wet) can appear fully green at some time during the growing season. 
  • Departure from Average Greenness Maps (DA) - Portray how green each pixel is compared to its average greenness for the current week of the year based on 1989-2003data.
