KANSAS APPLIED REMOTE SENSING PROGRAM

KARS is a remote sensing laboratory affiliated with the Kansas Biological Survey at the University of Kansas... In the spring of 1996 with funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), KARS began producing a bi-weekly map series called the GreenReport® that measures vegetation conditions across the United States. The GreenReport® is produced using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI ) images compiled at EROS Data Center from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery.
