The article shows the results of the analysis of long-term changes in the state of vegetation cover of Kazakhstan territory based on NOAA / AVHRR satellite data for assessing interannual features in response of vegetation to variations in weather conditions. Processing methodology included an assessment of multi-satellite distributions of integral and differential vegetation index, showing the dynamics of vegetation.
Keywords: remote sensing data, vegetation index, vegetation, long-term changes
