When does the Dish turn green?
Every season since 2000, gold to green
One row per season, August on the left to July on the right. Each cell is the colour of the grass from a satellite, every days.

How this was measured
Satellite greenness: NASA MODIS MOD13Q1 and MYD13Q1 NDVI, 250 m, from the ORNL DAAC subset service. Rain: Open-Meteo historical weather (ERA5 reanalysis) at the Dish. The colours are a gold-to-green ramp scaled by NDVI, not photographs; gold is also lighter than green, so the rows read without colour vision.
