NDVI datasets for Central Europe

_____________________________________________________________

Description:

The MODIS-adjusted NDVI3g dataset was created from the original NDVI3g (Pinzon and Tucker, 2014) to support vegetation related research in Central Europe. Details about the method used for the creation of this dataset are available in Kern et al. (2016).

Resolution and coverage:
The dataset has an 1/12° × 1/12° spatial resolution covering Central Europe (42.5833-51.0833°N and 10.9167-28.0833°E) with a 15-day temporal resolution.
Datasets (in the format of NetCDF):
MODIS-Adjusted NDVI3g - (1982-2013)

The datasets contains the values of the MODIS-adjusted NDVI3g and the needed longitude and latitude information: Terra.C006.MODIS_Adjusted_NDVI3g_CE_1982-2013_v3.1.max.nc (available also at Zenodo)
Aqua.C006.MODIS_Adjusted_NDVI3g_CE_1982-2013_v3.1.max.nc

C6 Terra/MODIS NDVI - (2000-2013)

The dataset contains the values of the 1km C6 Terra/MODIS NDVI (MOD13A2, provided by NASA) resampled to the 1/12° × 1/12° grid of NDVI3g and also the needed longitude and latitude information:
Terra.MODIS.C006_NDVI_CE_2000-2013_v3.1.max.nc

C6 Aqua/MODIS NDVI - (2003-2013)
The dataset contains the values of the 1km C6 Aqua/MODIS NDVI (MYD13A2, provided by NASA) resampled to the 1/12° × 1/12° grid of NDVI3g and also the needed longitude and latitude information:
Aqua.MODIS.C006_NDVI_CE_2003-2013_v3.1.max.nc
