Summary
Abstract: eMODIS products respond to specific land remote sensing community need for the benefits of MODIS data without the standard NASA packaging. eMODIS offers regionally based NDVI products in near-real time and historically using GeoTIFF format, non-sinusoidal map projections, and variable compositing periods. eMODIS currently (2011) produces NDVI over the continental U.S., Alaska, Central America/Caribbean, Africa and Madagascar, and Central Asia. Additional geographic and geophysical options are planned based on user requirements.

Quality Multiple layers and analysis are available from the FAO website, however, the
database is low resolution.

Recent availability of digital global databases of climatic parameters,
topography, soil and terrain, and land cover has allowed for revisions and
improvements in calculation procedures and to expand assessments of AEZ crop
