MUSES Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC) Monthly Global 0.05º Geographic Grid Since 1981

Creators

Description

The MUltiscale Satellite remotE Sensing (MUSES) product suite includes products with different spatial and temporal resolutions for parameters such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation (NIRv), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC), Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Primary Production (NPP). For more information about the MUSES products, please refer to this website (https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/).

This dataset is the MUSES global FVC product at 0.05º spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution. The MUSES FVC product is provided on Geographic grid and spans from 1981 to 2018 (continuously updated). It was generated from the MUSES LAI product at 0.05º resolution and other ancillary information using the complement to unity of the transmittance of light through the entire canopy in the nadir viewing direction (Xiao et al., 2016). The MUSES FVC values are physically consistent with the corresponding MUSES LAI values. The MUSES FVC product is spatially complete and temporally continuous.

Dataset Characteristics:

  • Spatial Coverage: 180º W – 180º E, 90º S – 90º N;
  • Temporal Coverage: 1981 – 2018;
  • Spatial Resolution: 0.05º (approximately 5 km);
  • Temporal Resolution: 1 month;
  • Projection: Geographic;
  • Data Format: HDF;
  • Scale: 0.004;
  • Valid Range: 0 – 250.
