Satellite-Based Global Land Surface Datasets for Earth System Model Applications (NCEI Accession 0295750)
This dataset includes key land surface properties based on various operational satellite measurements (e.g. MODIS, VIIRS and GEDI). They include the land surface type, vegetation clumping index, leaf area index, vegetative canopy height, and green vegetation fraction. Critical processing steps are taken to extend the surface properties for full global coverage, as well as gap-filling. All variables are gridded to universal global latitude/longitude gridded coordinates (-90° - 90° in latitude and 0° - 360° in longitude) with a consistent spatial resolution of 0.01° (~ 1 km). Currently, the dataset is available for a one year period (2020), and extension in time is expected.
