# MODIS-Based Vegetation Health Analysis for Sudan
## Overview
This script processes MODIS satellite data to assess vegetation health conditions across Sudan by integrating:
- NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) from MOD13A1 product
- Land Surface Temperature (LST) from MOD11A2 product
## Indices Calculated
1. VCI (Vegetation Condition Index)
- Normalizes NDVI to assess relative vegetation changes
- Range: 0-100%
2. TCI (Temperature Condition Index)
- Evaluates temperature stress impact
- Converts LST from Kelvin to Celsius
- Range: 0-100%
3. VHI (Vegetation Health Index)
- Combined measure of vegetation and temperature conditions
- Equal weights of VCI and TCI
- Range: 0-100%
## Features
- Automated data processing for year 2000
- Custom visualization with interactive legend
- Color-coded output (blue to red palette)
- Export functionality to Google Drive
- AOI-specific analysis for Sudan
## Class Ranges
- 0-25: Low vegetation health
- 26-50: Moderate vegetation health
- 51-75: High vegetation health
- 76-100: Very high vegetation health
