Global crop and plant growth rate, 1km (Copernicus, 1999-2020)

CLMS DMP Global 1km 10-daily V2
biosphere ESA ESA Copernicus COGNetCDF
In plain English

What it measures. Estimates how fast vegetation is putting on new dry biomass, given in kilograms per hectare per day in units handy for agriculture. In effect, a snapshot of how vigorously plants are growing.

How it's made. Produced by ESA Copernicus from the SPOT-VEGETATION and PROBA-V satellite instruments, with a fresh estimate every ten days at roughly 1-kilometre detail.

How & where you'd use it. Useful for tracking crop and pasture growth, monitoring droughts, and studying ecosystem productivity. This archive covers 1999 to June 2020.

Official description

Represents the overall growth rate or dry biomass increase of the vegetation and is directly related to ecosystem Net Primary Production (NPP), however with units customized for agro-statistical purposes (kg/ha/day). Every 10-days estimates are available at global scale in the spatial resolution of about 1 km and with the temporal extent from 1999 to June 2020.
