MUSES Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC) Monthly Global 500m SIN Grid in 2000

The MUltiscale Satellite remotE Sensing (MUSES) product suite includes products with different spatial and temporal resolutions for parameters such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation (NIRv), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC), Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Primary Production (NPP). For more information about the MUSES products, please refer to this website (https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/). This dataset is the MUSES global FVC product at 500 m spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution. The MUSES FVC product is provided on a Sinusoidal grid and spans from 2000 to 2019 (continuously updated). It was generated from the MUSES LAI product at 500 m resolution and other ancillary information using the complement to unity of the transmittance of light through the entire canopy in the nadir viewing direction (Xiao et al., 2016). The MUSES FVC values are physically consistent with the corresponding MUSES LAI values. The MUSES FVC product is spatially complete and temporally continuous. This dataset is the MUSES FVC product in 2000. Please click here to download the MUSES FVC product in 2001.
