Data sets

A global near real-time filtered 500m 10-day FPAR dataset from MODIS and VIIRS instruments, suited for operational agricultural monitoring and crop yield forecasting Lorenzo Seguini et al. https://doi.org/10.2905/1aac79d8-0d68-4f1c-a40f-b6e362264e50

Short summary

We released a consistent, multi-sensor, timeseries of global biophysical data at 500 m resolution, updated every 10 d since 2000. This dataset is filtered and optimized for agricultural applications and meets the operational needs of the systems for early warning, and crop yield forecasting.
