ISLSCP - I, Volume 1: Vegetation data
This CD-ROM set contains the Volume 1 vegetation data collection. The data covers a 24 month period, 1987-1988, and all but one are mapped to a common spatial resolution and grid (1 degree x 1 degree). Temporal resolution for most datasets is monthly; however, a few are at a finer resolution (e.g., 6-hourly).
This dataset contains data covering:
* Background (soil/litter layer) reflectances
* Fraction of Photosynthetically Active radiation absorbed by the green vegetation canopy (FPAR)
* Fourier-Adjustment, Solar zenith angle corrected, Interpolated Reconstructed (FASIR) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)
* Percentage green leaf area of total leaf area
* Total Leaf Area Index (LAI)
* Normalized Difference Vegetation index (NDVI)
* Roughness length (Zo)
* Calculated snow-free albedo
* Global land cover classification from satellite data
