New NDVI-derived “Condition Variables”

We have added new variables that estimate relative crop conditions using crop-specific MODIS NDVI data.  The variables utilize historical accumulated NDVI (from a given start date) to estimate the relative condition between years over time.

The variables are available under the “GDA Crop NDVI” topic as “NDVI Condition” variables.  Twelve variables exist, one for each accumulation start month.  We suggest using the “MM-DD (approx)” temporal format setting to see the data year-over-year.

The methodology can be found here.
