Urban heat islandPeriod: 20060831- 20130831 Abstract: The urban heat island indicator delivered in this file refers to the difference in summer surface temperature between the urban area of a city and its rural surroundings. Data on land-surface temperatures have been derived from MYD11A2 Version 5 data of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) using the NASA Aqua platform. This product provides a 8-day-mean land surface temperature with a spatial resolution of 1km, at around 13:30 and 1:30 local time, respectively. To differenti... |
avc induce-1-0-0 EC-JRC FAPAR yr 20030101-20141231 2003-2014Period: 20030101- 20141231 Abstract: This indicator is derived from the European Commission, Joint Research Centre's global, multi-annual database of satellite-measured values of Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR). FAPAR is a bio-geophysical variable that measures the fraction of incident solar radiation that is absorbed by land vegetation for photosynthesis. High FAPAR values are associated with favourable conditions for vegetation growth, while low FAPAR values are associated with stress and disturba... |
