Abstract The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is currently the only operational remote sensing system capable of providing global daily data which can be used for vegetation monitoring. These data are available with resolution cell sizes ranging from around one to 20 km on a side, though the temporal and spatial extent of cover at each resolution is variable. In this paper Normalized Difference Vegetation Index temporal curves derived from AVHRR at different resolutions are compared over both agricultural and natural tropical vegetation types. For the agricultural regions the length of growing season and major breaks of slope associated with key crop development events are equally well shown at coarse and fine resolution. Detailed examination of the curves reveals differences thought to result from temporal changes in landscape structure. Temporal curves derived from AVHRR data at dilTerent spatial resolutions shows that the spatial organization of both agricultural and natural landscapes,...
