Data description The data in the .csv file has been applied to analyze the distribution patterns of SM-LAI anomaly correlation. It contains processed soil moisture data from the ISMN dataset and processed LAI data from MODIS observation. Each .csv file contains data date and time series in all grid cells (latitude/longitude), the missing LAI data is due to the missing data of in-situ SM data. The spatial resolution of the data is 500 m (43200×86400), with temporal resolutions of 8 days during 2000-2015.
