MUSES Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC) 8-Day Global 1km SIN Grid in 2013

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 1 km spatial resolution and 8-day 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 1 km 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 2013. Please click here to download the MUSES FVC product in 2012, and click here to download the MUSES FVC product in 2014.

多尺度卫星遥感（Multiscale Satellite Remote Sensing, MUSES）产品套件涵盖归一化差分植被指数（Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI）、植被近红外反射率（Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation, NIRv）、叶面积指数（Leaf Area Index, LAI）、吸收光合有效辐射比例（Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation, FAPAR）、植被覆盖度（Fractional Vegetation Coverage, FVC）、总初级生产力（Gross Primary Production, GPP）、净初级生产力（Net Primary Production, NPP）等多类参数的不同时空分辨率产品。如需了解MUSES产品的更多详情，请访问官网https://muses.bnu.edu.cn。本数据集为空间分辨率1 km、时间分辨率8天的MUSES全球植被覆盖度产品。

MUSES植被覆盖度产品采用正弦曲线网格（Sinusoidal grid）投影，时间跨度为2000年至2019年（持续更新中），其基于1 km分辨率的MUSES叶面积指数产品及其他辅助信息，利用天底视角下光线穿过完整冠层的透射率互补值原理生成（Xiao等，2016）。该产品的植被覆盖度数值与对应MUSES叶面积指数数值具有物理一致性，且空间覆盖完整、时间序列连续。
