This paper reports on data from the NOAA-10 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) collected over the midwestern United States for the 1987 and 1988 growing seasons. A Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) transformation was performed using the two optical bands of the sensor (0.58-0.68 {mu}m and 0.72-1.10 {mu}m). The NDVI is related to the amount of active photosynthetic biomass present on the ground. Samples of NDVI values over 45 fields representing 8 soil associations throughout the State of Indiana were collected to assess the effect of soil conditions and acquisition data on the spectral response of the vegetation, as shown by the NDVI's.
