Designate region of interest and export the image to Google Drive

  // Region of interest: Near Rochester Hills
  var roi = ee.Geometry.Rectangle([-83.2, 42.6, -83.0, 42.8]);

  // Filter Sentinel-2 images (July 2024)
  var image = ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/S2_SR')
    .filterBounds(roi)
    .filterDate('2024-07-01', '2024-07-31')
    .filter(ee.Filter.lt('CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE', 10))
    .median();

  // Calculate NDVI
  var ndvi = image.normalizedDifference(['B8', 'B4']).rename('NDVI');

  // Visualization palette
  var ndviParams = {min: -1, max: 1, palette: ['blue', 'white', 'green']};
  Map.centerObject(roi, 11);
  Map.addLayer(ndvi, ndviParams, 'NDVI');

  // Export settings (to Google Drive)
  Export.image.toDrive({
    image: ndvi.clip(roi),
    description: 'NDVI_Rochester_2024',
    folder: 'gee_exports',
    scale: 10,
    region: roi,
    fileFormat: 'GeoTIFF'
  });
