Description

The global monthly gridded MODIS vegetation indices product is derived from the standard 0.05 CMG MODIS Aqua Vegetation Indices Monthly product MYD13C2 (Huete et al, 2002) collection-5. The product is generated for Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) program in supporting researches on the surface processes and climate modeling. The vegetation indices product is generated at 1x1 degree spatial resolution starting from July 2002.
