MUSES Leaf Area Index (LAI) 16-Day 30m Geographic Grid over Beijing Since 1984

<p>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).&nbsp;For more information about the MUSES products, please refer to this website (<a href="https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/">https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/</a>).</p> <p>This dataset is the MUSES LAI product at 30 m spatial&nbsp;resolution&nbsp;and 16-day temporal resolution over Beijing.&nbsp;The MUSES LAI product is&nbsp;provided&nbsp;on Geographic grid and spans from 1984 to 2021 (continuously updated).&nbsp;It was generated from time-series Landsat surface reflectance data using general regression neural networks (GRNNs) &nbsp;(Xiao <em>et al</em>., 2014; Xiao <em>et al.</em>, 2016). The MUSES LAI product is spatially complete and temporally continuous.</p> <p><strong>Dataset Characteristics:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Spatial Coverage: 115.416599&ordm; E &ndash; 117.508219&ordm; E, 39.441929&ordm; N &ndash; 41.059283&ordm; N</li> <li>Temporal Coverage: 1984 &ndash; 2021</li> <li>Spatial Resolution: 0.000269469&ordm; (approximately 30 m)</li> <li>Temporal Resolution: 16 days</li> <li>Projection: Geographic</li> <li>Data Format: HDF</li> <li>Scale: 0.01</li> <li>Valid Range: 0 &ndash; 1000</li> </ul> <p><strong>Citation </strong>(Please cite this paper whenever these data are used)<strong>:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Xiao Zhiqiang, Jinling Song, Hua Yang, Rui Sun and Juan Li.
