Monthly vegetation essential climate variable maps of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 2017 to 2023 at 20 m resolution from Copernicus Sentinel 2 satellite imagery / R.A. Fernandes,...: M103-3/78-2024E-PDF

"Vegetation essential climate variables corresponding to the black-sky albedo (albedo), the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), the fraction of canopy cover (fCOVER) and the leaf area index (LAI), as defined by the Global Climate Observing System, are produced for the United Kingdom at 20m resolution on a monthly basis from 2017 to 2023. Maps correspond to variables estimated from input Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite imagery using the Landscape Evolution and Forecasting (LEAF) Toolbox implementation of the Simplified Level 2 Prototype Processor. The day of retrieval is also provided with each monthly map. Uncertainty estimates are provided based on validation over North America. These products have not been validated over the United Kingdom and are only available for research use"--Abstract.
