Time series of Landsat-8 biophysical products available

The retrieval methodology, initially developped to generate the kilometric and hectometric biophysical products (LAI, FAPAR, FCover) of the GEOV* family disseminated by the Copernicus Global Land service, has been adapted to the decametric reflectances of the Landsat-8 sensor, in preparation of the use of the Sentinel-2 data. As a demonstration, times series of these variables were generated over 8 ImagineS demonstration sites of various cropland and grassland conditions. The length of time series depends on the site but it covers, at least, one full year.

Products are provided in GEOTIFF format, containing uncertainties and quality flag as well. They are associated with the ATBD and a Product User Manual.

LAI over Tana Basin, Kenya, from September 2013 to June 2014.
