Sentinel-3 NDVI ARD and Long Term Statistics (1999-2019) from the Copernicus Global Land Service over Lombardia

Sentinel-3 NDVI Analysis Ready Data (ARD)  (C_GLS_NDVI_20220101_20220701_Lombardia_S3_2.nc) product provided by the Copernicus Global Land Service [3]. The file C_GLS_NDVI_20220101_20220701_Lombardia_S3_2_masked.nc is derived from C_GLS_NDVI_20220101_20220701_Lombardia_S3_2.nc but values have been scaled (raw_value * ( 1/250)  - 0.08) and values lower then -0.08 and greater than 0.92 have been removed (set to missing values).

The original dataset can also be discovered through the OpenEO API[5] from the CGLS distributor VITO [4]. Access is free of charge but an EGI registration is needed.

The file called Italy.geojson  has been created using the Global Administrative Unit Layers GAUL G2015_2014 provided by FAO-UN (see Documentation). It only contains information related to Italy.

Further info about drought indexes can be found in the Integrated Drought Management Programme [5]
