Abstract

Monthly Global FCover product generated from MODIS data. Dataset represent monthly gap-filled FCover estimates the period 2000-2015 over Eurasia, Africa and Oceania. FCover was estimated using linear spectral mixture analysis and interpolated using empirical orthogonal functions algorithm to take advantage of all non-missing available pixels in both the spatial and temporal dimensions to gap-fill missing satellite observations. The global product of vegetation cover (as percentage of cover) based on MODIS images with monthly variation can be used as a critical support for several indicators related to ecologically based modelling.
