Armenia FAPAR Vegetation Index Anomalies: 10-Day VIIRS Composites

Copernicus provides this geospatial dataset containing 10-day time composites of Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) anomalies for Armenia. Derived from Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors, the data tracks vegetation health and agricultural drought impacts as of March 2026.

Use Cases

• Monitoring agricultural drought impacts using FAPAR anomaly values
• Analyzing vegetation productivity trends via 10-day VIIRS composites
• Mapping spatial distribution of vegetation health across Armenia

Strengths

• 10-day time composite frequency
• Standardized biophysical scale (0-1)
• Derived from VIIRS sensor data

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to Armenia
• Unknown spatial resolution (pixel size)
• Requires specialized GIS software to interpret GEOTIFF format
