Snow persistence data were processed into snow zones from Terra MODIS 500m resolution data from 2001-2020. 2021 30m resolution rangeland biomass data from the RPMS website. RPMS data (brown and black) are derived from Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM+, 8 OLI, and 9 OLI-2. The image displays snow persistence zones, with intermittent, transitional, and persistent snow zones in orange, light blue, and dark blue respectively. The image includes parts of the Sawatch and Elk Mountains.

The data for this image comes from NASA satellite Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Cropland Data Layers were used to create the image. The black, brown, and bright green specks represent the different crops growing near Wheeler Lake Watershed in North Alabama. NDVI and cropland data can be used to predict and evaluate the effects of flash drought on agricultural crops.

NDVI processed imagery from Landsat 9 Collection 2 Tier 1 TOA Reflectance for the whole year of 2022. The composite image shows the vegetation landscape of western Bhutan, focused on the districts of Punakha, Paro, and Wandgue Phodrang. The band combinations highlight forest cover in green, paddy fields in light brown, waterbodies in gray, and barren lands and settlements in black.

Processed bands displaying NDVI from 30m Landsat 8 OLI data. The average 2022-2023 growing-season NDVI displayed is representing a heavy agriculture region within the Aconcagua River Basin in Central Chile. Blue to green colors represent areas of bare ground or water while yellow to dark red colors display densely vegetated regions. NDVI when compared to hydrology parameters can indicate heavily irrigated farmlands.
