The MUltiscale Satellite remotE Sensing (MUSES) product suite includes products with different spatial and temporal resolutions for parameters such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation (NIRv), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC), Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Primary Production (NPP). For more information about the MUSES products, please refer to this website (https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/). The MUSES LAI product at 500m spatial resolution and 8-day temporal resolution is provided on a Sinusoidal grid and spans from 2000 to 2023 (continuously updated). It was generated from time-series Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance product using general regression neural networks (GRNNs) (Xiao et al., 2014; Xiao et al., 2016). The MUSES LAI product is spatially complete and temporally continuous. This dataset is the MUSES LAI product in 2023. Please click here to download the MUSES LAI product in 2022.
