Data Information

  Title:
derived AVHRR BU leaf area index in 0.5x0.5

  Source_file:
This product is generated from monthly 1/12 degree AVHRR BU leaf area index observations

  Conventions:
Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  Creation_date:
Tue Mar 25 17:04:13 PDT 2014

  Approach:
I read this variable from original abl files using matlab and simply averaged 15-day (half monthly) data to get monthly data. I also interpolated data from 1/12 (0.0833) degree into 0.5 degree and saved the data in NetCDF format.

  Temporal resolution:
monthly

  General information:
This product was derived from half monthly AVHRR BU leaf area index from Boston University.

  Spatial resolution:
0.5x0.5 degree

  Derived data code:
