Top of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance data in bands from the USGS Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 satellites were accessed via Google Earth Engine. CANUE staff used Google Earth Engine functions to create cloud free mean growing season composites, and mask water features, then export the resulting band data. Growing season is defined as May 1st through August 31st. NDVI indices were then calculated as (band 4 - Band 3)/(Band 4 Band 3) for Landsat 5 data, and as (band 5 - band 4)/(band 5 Band 4) for Landsat 8 data. No data were available for 2012, due to decommissioning of Landsat 5 in 2011 prior to the start of Landsat 8 in 2013. No cross-calibration between the sensors was performed, please be aware there may be small bias differences between NDVI values calculated using Landsat 5 and Landsat 8. Final NDVI metrics were linked to all 6-digit DMTI Spatial single link postal code locations in Canada, and for surrounding areas within 100m, 250m, 500m, and 1km.
