Description
A Cerrado area in southern Mato Grosso state, Brazil, is studied for spatial and temporal variability of biophysical parameters across different soil covers. The dataset includes estimates for NDVI, albedo, surface temperature, and radiation balance derived from Landsat 5 TM sensor images for 2009, 2010, and 2011. It was created by researcher Israel Oliveira Ivo and is available via paperswithcode.
Use Cases
Modeling seasonal changes in vegetation health based on NDVI and surface temperature data.
Analyzing the relationship between radiation balance and different Cerrado phytophysiognomies.
Comparing biophysical parameters between natural Cerrado covers and pasture areas.
Studying the impact of water availability on albedo and surface temperature across seasons.
Strengths
Provides multi-year temporal coverage with data from 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Compares five distinct land cover types: Campo Limpo, Campo Sujo, Cerradão, Cerrado stricto sensu, and a pasture area.
Includes specific quantitative findings, such as NDVI being 44% higher in the rainy season than the dry season.
