AfSIS MODIS Collection: Leaf Area Index - FPAR, 2012 Release
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
The Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection's Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) data sets contain rasters with the following calculations: time series average, time series standard deviation, and time series variance for LAI and FPAR. These Africa continent-wide calculations for surface photosynthesis use observations from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) MODIS MCD43A3 product.
The rasters have a 8-day temporal resolution, a spatial resolution of 1 kilometer, and are updated annually by AfSIS using data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LPDAAC) Data Pool at lpdaac.usgs.gov. The data are available in Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) from the Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS).
