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/). This dataset is the MUSES global NDVI product at 0.05º spatial resolution and 8-day temporal resolution. The MUSES NDVI product is provided on Geographic grid and spans from 1982 to 2015 (continuously updated). It was generated from the Land Long-Term Data Record (LTDR) Advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) daily surface reflectance product (Version 4) using a temporally continuous vegetation indices-based land-surface reflectance reconstruction (VIRR) method (Xiao et al., 2015; Xiao et al., 2017). The MUSES NDVI product is spatially complete and temporally continuous. Dataset Characteristics: Spatial Coverage: 180º W – 180º E, 90º S – 90º N Temporal Coverage: 1982 – 2015 Spatial Resolution: 0.05º (approximately 5 km) Temporal Resolution: 8 days Projection: Geographic Data Format: HDF Scale: 0.0001 Valid Range: 0 – 10000 Citation (Please cite this paper whenever these data are used): Xiao Zhiqiang, et al.
