Sharper global vegetation greenness, 2014-present (Copernicus)

CLMS NDVI Global 300m 10-daily v3
biosphere ESA ESA Copernicus active COGNetCDF
In plain English

What it measures. Measures how green vegetation is across the globe every ten days at fine 300-meter detail, offering a continuous record from January 2014 to the present.

How it's made. Generated by ESA Copernicus by combining PROBA-V and Sentinel-3 OLCI observations at roughly 300-meter resolution.

How & where you'd use it. Lets analysts watch crop and vegetation health in detail, detect droughts early, and follow seasonal greening over more than a decade.

Official description

NDVI is an indicator of the greenness of the biomes. 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.
