Algeria Vegetation Health: 10-Day FAPAR Anomaly GeoTIFFs

This geospatial collection provides 10-day composite FAPAR (Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation) anomalies for Algeria, produced by Copernicus using VIIRS sensor data. The records measure vegetation greenness and health on a scale of 0 to 1 to identify agricultural drought impacts. The data is current through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Monitoring agricultural drought impacts by analyzing FAPAR anomaly deviations from historical norms
• Assessing vegetation productivity using the 0 to 1 greenness scale
• Time-series analysis of crop health using 10-day composite intervals

Strengths

• Derived from high-resolution VIIRS sensor data
• Standardized 0 to 1 dimensionless scale for vegetation health
• 10-day composite frequency for temporal monitoring

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to Algeria
• Raster format requires specialized GIS software for analysis
• Cloud cover may interfere with VIIRS optical sensor readings
