Copernicus Land Monitoring service
Satellite and sensor collaboration
Copernicus Land Monitoring Service combines data from PROBA-V and data from sensor networks on the earth’s surface. This results in up-to-date geographical information, intended for water and forest management, agriculture and food safety, nature conservation and spatial planning, to name a few.
LAI (Leaf Area Index)
- shows how dense the vegetation cover is, so it is biomass indicator
- synthesis over 10 days
- resolution of 300 metres
fAPAR (Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation)
- shows the photosynthesis activity for green vegetation
- synthesis over 10 days
- resolution of 300 metres
