Median daily evapotranspiration (ET) from September 2021 to May 2022 calculated from ISS ECOSTRESS data. The image covers the agricultural fields adjacent to the Maipo River, Chile and depicts water stress. The color scale ranges from red (low ET) to blue (high ET), with higher ET observed over irrigated agricultural fields. ET is used for estimating crop irrigation requirements. This data will inform irrigation management practices and help alleviate water scarcity within the area. ​

SAR Flood Map for 2017 Uruguay Flooding

NDVI over Mato Grosso, Brazil processed from March 2021 Landsat-8 OLI data. Calculated NDVI values correspond with colors shown to indicate plant health. High NDVI values (green to blue) indicate dense vegetation found in tropical and temperate forests or crops at their peak growth. Low values (yellow to red) depict barren land, water, and moisture-stressed vegetation. These data can support timely and efficient agricultural responses to ensure productive yields and food security.​
