Product Description
GLOBMAP LAI Version 3 provides a consistent long-term global leaf area index (LAI) product (1981-2016) at 8km resolution on Geographic grid by quantitative fusion of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and historical Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data. The long-term LAI series was made up by combination of AVHRR LAI (1981–2000) and MODIS LAI
(2001–2016). MODIS LAI series was generated from MODIS land surface reflectance data (MOD09A1) based on the GLOBCARBON LAI algorithm (Deng et
The relationships between AVHRR observations (GIMMS NDVI (Tucker al., 2006).
et al., 2005)) and MODIS LAI were established pixel by pixel using two data series during overlapped period (2000–2006). Then the AVHRR LAI back to 1981 was
estimated from historical AVHRR observations based on these pixel-level relationships. Detailed descriptions of algorithm and evaluation of the algorithm see Liu et al. (2012).
Several changes have been made compared with the JGR paper:
(1). The MODIS C6 land surface reflectance products MOD09A1 was used to
generate MODIS LAI instead of C5 products.
(2). The clumping effects was considered at the pixel level by employing global
clumping index map at 500m resolution (He et al., 2012) instead of land
cover-specific clumping index in generation of MODIS LAI. And the new
pixel-based AVHRR SR-MODIS LAI relationships were established based on
these MODIS LAI series and used for AVHRR LAI retrieval.
(3). The cloud mask for MOD09A1 data were generated by a new cloud detection
algorithm based on time series surface reflectance observations (Liu and Liu,
2013). And the contaminated pixels were filled by locally adjusted cubic spline
capping approach (Chen et al., 2006), which is different from version 1.
