| Metrics | Definition on NDVI curve and Physiological description |
| OnsetT | The NDVI value at the start of the growth, seedling |
| OnsetV | The time when Onset is achieved |
| MaxV | The maximum NDVI value in the season |
| MaxT | The time when the MaxV attained, anthesis growth stage |
| OffsetV | The NDVI value at the end of the season |
| OffsetT | The time when Offset attained, senescence growth stage |
| LengthGS | The length of growing season |
| BeforeMaxT | The length of time between Onset and MaxV |
| AfterMaxT | The length of time between MaxV and Offset |
| GreenUpSlope | The rate of increase in NDVI value between Onset and MaxV |
| BrownDownSlope | The rate of decrease in NDVI value between MaxV and Offset |
| TINDVI | The area under the NDVI curve between Onset and Offset |
| TINDVIBeforeMax | The area under the NDVI curve between Onset and MaxV |
| TINDVIAfterMax | The area under the NDVI curve between MaxV and Offset |
| Asymmetry | The difference between BeforeMaxTINDVI and AfterMaxTINDVI |
