Andorra: 10-Day FAPAR Vegetation Index Anomalies from VIIRS

Copernicus provides 10-day time composite GEOTIFF files measuring the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) anomalies for Andorra. Derived from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), these records monitor vegetation health and agricultural drought impacts. The data uses a standardized biophysical scale ranging from 0 to 1 to indicate absorption levels.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought by analyzing FAPAR anomaly deviations from historical baselines
• Monitoring seasonal vegetation health trends using 10-day composite intervals
• Assessing photosynthetic productivity across Andorra's terrain for environmental research

Strengths

• High temporal resolution with 10-day composite intervals
• Derived from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)
• Standardized biophysical scale (0-1) for consistent health assessment

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to the country of Andorra
• GEOTIFF format requires specialized GIS software for analysis
• Lack of specific pixel resolution or row count metadata
