GCOM-C/SGLI L2 Statistics-Shadow index (SI) (1-Month,250m)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

GCOM-C/SGLI L2 Statistics-Shadow Index (SI) (1-Month,250m) dataset is obtained from the SGLI sensor onboard GCOM-C and produced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Description

GCOM-C is Sun-synchronous sub-recurrent Orbit satellite launched on December 23, 2017, which mounts SGLI and conducts long-term global observations of geophysical variables related to the global climate system across 28 items including aerosol and vegetation over 4 areas of atmosphere, land, ocean, and cryosphere.

The data will be used to contribute to higher accuracy of global warming prediction. The SGLI has swath of 1150 km in the visible band and 1400 km in the infrared band.This dataset includes SI: Shadow Index. SDI is the fraction of shadow generated by conformation of vegetation (areal occupation within a pixel) and is estimated with regression equation.
