Fractional Cover (FC25)

The Fractional Cover product is derived from Geoscience Australia's Australian Reflectance Grid 25 (ARG25) product and provides a 25m scale fractional cover representation of the proportions of green or photosynthetic vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation, and bare surface cover across the Australian continent. It is generated using the algorithm developed by the Joint Remote Sensing Research Program and described in Scarth et al. (2010)
The FC25 product suite is currently available for every scene Landsat Thematic Mapper (Landsat 5) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (Landsat 7) scene acquired between 1986 and 2012 . Future versions of the product suite will include data from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor aboard Landsat 8.
