About this site

The globe on this page displays a 1x1-degree grid representing the relative amount of vegetation on the Earth's surface.

The source dataset, referred to as the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), is collected by NASA's MODIS sensor suite on the TERRA and AQUA Earth-observing satellites. The dataset is generated approximately every 16 days, and is automatically retrieved and processed by a script for display.

The model was built in Three.js, a 3D graphics utility for the browser, which provides a convenient API for creating hardware-accelerated animations with WebGL.

You can find the code here.
