Global plant growth rate, ongoing 300m (Copernicus)

In plain English

What it measures. Tracks how fast vegetation is building up dry matter, reported in kilograms of dry matter per hectare per day. It reflects the overall growth vigour of plants.

How it's made. Generated by ESA Copernicus from the PROBA-V and Sentinel-3 OLCI instruments, refreshed every ten days at roughly 300-metre detail and close to real time.

How & where you'd use it. Supports up-to-date crop and pasture monitoring, drought watch and ecosystem studies. This continuing version runs from January 2014 to the present.

Official description

Represents the overall growth rate, or dry biomass increase, of the vegetation. It is directly related to ecosystem Net Primary Production (NPP) but expressed in kg of Dry Matter per hectare and per day (kg DM/ha/day). Every 10-days estimates are available in near real time at global scale in the spatial resolution of about 300 m from January 2014 to the present.
