LAI - spectrometer - mosaic (DP3.30012.001)

The leaf area index (LAI) is a derived spectral product from remotely sensed data that is used as a proxy for describing leaf area across areas larger than can be measured by more direct ground-based measurements such as hemispherical photography. It is often used as an input layer for productivity, landscape, and climate models. The Level 3 LAI product is distributed in 1 km by 1 km mosaic tiles using the most-nadir pixels from the original flight lines and is in geotiff raster format.

Latency:
AOP data are expected to be available 60 days after the final collection day at a site. Note: Data for airborne collections in 2022 and 2023 are currently being added to the data portal under a new revision number (DP3.30012.002) since they are derived from BRDF corrected reflectance data, so will not be available here. LAI derived from directional reflectance will still be available for earlier collections (pre 2022) until they are re-processed with all of the latest reflectance corrections.
