    California CIR 2005 NDVI 1m

    Metadata Updated: October 23, 2025

    A Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) was applied to the source 2005 1-meter resolution color infrared (CIR) imagery. NDVI=(NearIR-Red)/(NearIR+Red). The color ramp (produced by ESRI) goes from brown (less healthy vegetation) to red to green (healthier vegetation or more "greenness"). Lack of statewide color balancing of the source CIR imagery shows inconsistencies in NDVI results between adjacent areas. No access constraints, but there are use constraints (see source product metadata).

    The source color infrared (CIR) imagery was acquired during NAIP 2005 flights. The imagery was purchased from the North West Group (NWG) by three state agencies (California Dept. of Fish and Game, California Dept. of Transportation, and California Dept. of Water Resources). No access constraints, but there are use constraints. CIR coverage was not available in all areas. THIS IMAGERY IS NOT A NAIP PRODUCT. Band1=NearIR, Band2=R, Band3=G.
