Comoros Vegetation Index Anomaly: 10-Day VIIRS FAPAR Composites

Copernicus provides 10-day time composite geospatial data of Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) anomalies for Comoros. The data is derived from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought impacts by analyzing FAPAR anomaly values
• Monitoring vegetation health trends using 10-day composite intervals
• Assessing crop productivity based on photosynthetically active radiation absorption levels

Strengths

• 10-day temporal resolution for monitoring seasonal changes
• Utilizes VIIRS sensor data for biophysical measurements
• Standardized 0 to 1 scale for vegetation greenness

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to Comoros
• Requires specialized GIS software for GEOTIFF processing
• Lack of specific tabular metadata or column descriptions
