    • Vegetation and Water Monitoring Datasets for selected locations in the Republic of the Marshall Islands from 2017-2022

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a sovereign Small Island State in the tropical central North Pacific Ocean. RMI is a nation of more than thirty atolls and islands, most of which are inhabited, dispersed across an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) over 2 million square kilometers. This data release contains raster datasets for vegetation and water monitoring including Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Landscape Water Requirement Satisfaction Index (L-WRSI), and Soil Moisture Index (SMI) for selected locations and precipitation (dekadal (10-day) sum) for the entire RMI from 2017-2022. These data were compiled to support a 2022-2023 U.S. Geological Survey project for developing methods to apply Earth Observation to monitor the health of vegetation in the RMI. The project was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Agency for International Development Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
