Ea. Williams et De. Jelinski, ON USING THE NOAA AVHRR EXPERIMENTAL CALIBRATED BIWEEKLY GLOBAL VEGETATION INDEX, Photogrammetric engineering and remote sensing, 62(8), 1996, pp. 959-960
Several types of real and potential error in the current biweekly Expe
rimental Global Vegetation Index (EGVI) distributed by the National Ge
ophysical Data Center (NGDC) are described. The real errors are relate
d to duplication of files among years. The potential errors arise from
problems in resampling that are associated with transferring data bet
ween two types of projections. The failure to recognize and address th
ese problems will lead to serious analytical error and false inference
