LAI - spectrometer - flightline (DP2.30012.001)

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 2 LAI product is distributed by flight line in geotiff (.tif) 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 (DP2.30012.002), 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. See the "Additional Remarks" section for more details.
