There are two primary vegetation layers.\nThe first is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)\nwhich is referred to as the continuity index to the existing National\nOceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Advanced Very High Resolution\nRadiometer (NOAA-AVHRR) derived NDVI. The second vegetation layer\nis the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) that minimizes canopy background\nvariations and maintains sensitivity over dense vegetation conditions.\nThe EVI also uses the blue band to remove residual atmosphere contamination\ncaused by smoke and sub-pixel thin cloud clouds. The MODIS NDVI\nand EVI products are computed from atmospherically corrected bi-directional\nsurface reflectances that have been masked for water, clouds, heavy\naerosols, and cloud shadows.\n\nDocumentation:\n\n- [User's Guide](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/103/MOD13_User_Guide_V6.pdf)\n\n- [Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD)](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/104/MOD13_ATBD.pdf)\n\n- [General Documentation](https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/filespec/MODIS/61/MOD13A1)\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n500 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Scale | Pixel Size | Wavelength | Description |\n|-------------------|-------|--------|-------|--------|------------|----------------------|----------------------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `NDVI` | | -2000 | 10000 | 0.0001 | meters | None | Normalized Difference Vegetation Index |\n| `EVI` | | -2000 | 10000 | 0.0001 | meters | None | Enhanced Vegetation Index |\n| `DetailedQA` | | | | | meters | None | VI quality indicators |\n| Bitmask for DetailedQA - Bits 0-1: VI quality (MODLAND QA Bits) - 0: VI produced with good quality - 1: VI produced, but check other QA - 2: Pixel produced, but most probably cloudy - 3: Pixel not produced due to other reasons than clouds - Bits 2-5: VI usefulness - 0: Highest quality - 1: Lower quality - 2: Decreasing quality - 4: Decreasing quality - 8: Decreasing quality - 9: Decreasing quality - 10: Decreasing quality - 12: Lowest quality - 13: Quality so low that it is not useful - 14: L1B data faulty - 15: Not useful for any other reason/not processed - Bits 6-7: Aerosol Quantity - 0: Climatology - 1: Low - 2: Intermediate - 3: High - Bit 8: Adjacent cloud detected - 0: No - 1: Yes - Bit 9: Atmosphere BRDF correction - 0: No - 1: Yes - Bit 10: Mixed Clouds - 0: No - 1: Yes - Bits 11-13: Land/water mask - 0: Shallow ocean - 1: Land (nothing else but land) - 2: Ocean coastlines and lake shorelines - 3: Shallow inland water - 4: Ephemeral water - 5: Deep inland water - 6: Moderate or continental ocean - 7: Deep ocean - Bit 14: Possible snow/ice - 0: No - 1: Yes - Bit 15: Possible shadow - 0: No - 1: Yes ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\n| `sur_refl_b01` | | 0 | 10000 | 0.0001 | meters | 645nm | Red surface reflectance |\n| `sur_refl_b02` | | 0 | 10000 | 0.0001 | meters | 858nm | NIR surface reflectance |\n| `sur_refl_b03` | | 0 | 10000 | 0.0001 | meters | 469nm | Blue surface reflectance |\n| `sur_refl_b07` | | 0 | 10000 | 0.0001 | meters | 2130nm/2105 - 2155nm | MIR surface reflectance |\n| `ViewZenith` | deg | 0 | 18000 | 0.01 | meters | None | View zenith angle |\n| `SolarZenith` | deg | 0 | 18000 | 0.01 | meters | None | Solar zenith angle |\n| `RelativeAzimuth` | deg | -18000 | 18000 | 0.01 | meters | None | Relative azimuth angle |\n| `DayOfYear` | | 1 | 366 | | meters | None | Julian day of year |\n| `SummaryQA` | | | | | meters | None | Quality reliability of VI pixel |\n| Bitmask for SummaryQA - Bits 0-1: VI quality (MODLAND QA Bits) - 0: Good data, use with confidence - 1: Marginal data, useful but look at detailed QA for more information - 2: Pixel covered with snow/ice - 3: Pixel is cloudy ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nMODIS data and products acquired through the LP DAAC\nhave no restrictions on subsequent use, sale, or redistribution.\n\n### Citations\n\nCitations:\n\n- Please visit [LP DAAC 'Citing Our Data' page](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/citing_our_data)\n for information on citing LP DAAC datasets.\n\n### DOIs\n\n- \u003chttps://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MOD13A1.061\u003e\n\n### Explore with Earth Engine\n\n| **Important:** Earth Engine is a platform for petabyte-scale scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial datasets, both for public benefit and for business and government users.
