Georgia FAPAR Vegetation Index Anomalies: 10-Day VIIRS Composites

Copernicus provides this geospatial dataset containing 10-day time composite FAPAR anomalies for Georgia derived from VIIRS sensor data. The data measures vegetation greenness and health on a scale of 0 to 1 to monitor agricultural drought impacts. Records are updated through March 2026 and provided in GeoTIFF format.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought by analyzing FAPAR anomaly deviations from historical norms
• Monitoring vegetation productivity trends using 10-day composite GeoTIFF layers
• Assessing regional crop health in Georgia through photosynthetically active radiation absorption rates

Strengths

• Derived from Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors
• Standardized 10-day time composite intervals
• High-precision dimensionless values ranging from 0 to 1

Limitations

• Lack of tabular metadata or specific column descriptions
• Spatial resolution in meters per pixel is not explicitly defined in the metadata
