Liechtenstein FAPAR Vegetation Index Anomalies in 10-Day Composites

Copernicus provides this geospatial dataset containing 10-day time composites of FAPAR anomalies for Liechtenstein derived from VIIRS sensor data. The data measures vegetation greenness and health on a scale of 0 to 1 to monitor agricultural drought impacts. It was last updated in March 2026 to reflect recent biophysical conditions.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought by analyzing FAPAR anomaly deviations from historical norms
• Monitoring vegetation productivity using the 0-1 dimensionless greenness scale
• Conducting time-series analysis of crop health using the 10-day composite intervals

Strengths

• Uses VIIRS sensor data for high-frequency 10-day composites
• Standardized FAPAR scale (0 to 1) for objective biophysical assessment
• Provided in GEOTIFF format for immediate GIS integration

Limitations

• Geographic scope is restricted to Liechtenstein
• Lack of specific tabular metadata or attribute columns beyond the raster values
