Abstract
Prior to April 1985 the Global Vegetation Index data supplied by NOAA were only available on polar stereographic (PS) projections. For many purposes this presentation is inconvenient. For this reason a program to transform the data from PS projection on to a more convenient projection, namely an equatorial cylindrical Plate Carree projection in which the north-south scale remains constant throughout, is presented. Properties of both of the projections are discussed.Keywords
