Global 8 km resolution AVHRR (advanced very high resolution radiometer) NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) 10‐day composite data sets have been used for numerous local to global scale vegetation time series studies during recent years. AVHRR Pathfinder (PAL) NDVI was available from 1981 until 2001, and the new AVHRR GIMMS NDVI was available from 1981 to the present time. A number of aspects potentially introduce noise in the NDVI data set due to the AVHRR sensor design and data processing. NDVI from SPOT‐4 VGT data is considered an improvement over AVHRR, and for this reason it is important to examine how and if the differences in sensor design and processing influence continental scale NDVI composite products. In this study, the quality of these AVHRR NDVI time series are evaluated by the continental scale 1 km resolution SPOT‐4 vegetation (VGT) 10‐day composite (S10) NDVI data. Three years of AVHRR PAL (1998–2000) and seven years of GIMMS (1998–2004) have been compared to 8 km resampled SPOT‐4 VGT (1998–2004) data. The dynamic range of SPOT‐4 VGT NDVI tends to be higher than the AVHRR PAL NDVI, whereas there is an exact match between AVHRR GIMMS NDVI and SPOT‐4 VGT NDVI. Ortho‐regression analysis on annually integrated values of AVHRR PAL/GIMMS and SPOT‐4 VGT on a continental scale reveals high correlations amongst the AVHRR and the SPOT data set, with lowest RMSE (root mean square error) on the GIMMS/SPOT‐4 VGT compared to the PAL/SPOT‐4 VGT. Analyses on decade data likewise show that a linear relation exists between Spot‐4 VGT NDVI and the two AVHRR composite products; GIMMS explaining most of the Spot‐4 VGT NDVI variance compared to PAL. These results show that the AVHRR GIMMS NDVI is more consistent with Spot‐4 VGT NDVI compared to AVHRR PAL versus Spot‐4 VGT NDVI (in terms of RMSE and dynamic range) and can therefore be considered the more accurate long time AVHRR data record. Analyses performed on monthly maximum composites and decade composite data, however, reveal intra‐annual variations in the correlation between SPOT‐4 VGT and the two AVHRR data sets, which are attributed to different cloud masking algorithms. The SPOT‐4 VGT cloud‐screening algorithm is insufficient, thereby suppressing the rainy season NDVI.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is one of the most sensitive and fragile regions to climate changes, which has been found experiencing distinct warming trend in recent decades. We detected the vegetation greenness trends with the MODIS data in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during 2000-2009. The annual average normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) increased 0.036 yr -1 in this region. Statistically significant increasing trend appeared in about 20% of the vegetated area, primarily in the northeastern Plateau. Only 4% of the study region, mostly in the southern Plateau, showed significant decreasing NDVI trend.

기후변화는 강수유형, 기온상승과 일사량의 변화로 인한 증발산량의 변화, 유역 식생피복변화로 인한 지표-대기 관계의 변화와 같은 현상을 통해 지역 부존 수자원과 유출량에 큰 변화를 가져올 수 있다. 특히 지표면의 76%를 차지하고 있는 식생피복은 지표와 대기사이의 물 순환과정에서 중요한 인자이다. 본 연구에서는 넓은 지역에 대한 식생피복의 파악이 용이한 NOAA 위성의 AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) 센서로 부터 얻을 수 있는 정규화 식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI)를 통하여 현 식생정보를 정량화하였다. 이로부터 토지피복별 NDVI와 기상인자(기온, 강수량, 일조시간, 풍속, 습도) 사이의 상관관계를 분석하고, 이를 기후변화 시나리오에 의한 기상인자로 부터 토지피복에 따른 미래 NDVI를 추정하였다.
