The Greenish Marble


NOAA has released an interactive map of the Earth's vegetation. The Green Vegetation map was created using information from the VIIRS sensor aboard the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite.

The nighttime greenest areas on the map are the locations amongst the lushest vegetation. The map uses a pale color for the Earth's oceans. I'm guessing this is because if 75% of the planet was colored bluish this would detract from the vegetation beingness highlighted on the map.

You tin destination read to a greater extent than close the vegetation information together with how the map was created on the NOAA website.
