Lithuania FAPAR Vegetation Index Anomalies in 10-Day Composites

Copernicus provides 10-day time composite GEOTIFF files of FAPAR anomalies for Lithuania derived from VIIRS sensor data. These biophysical measurements assess vegetation greenness and health to monitor agricultural drought impacts. The data was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought by analyzing FAPAR anomaly deviations from historical norms
• Monitoring vegetation productivity trends using 10-day composite intervals
• Assessing forest or crop health based on the 0 to 1 absorption scale

Strengths

• Derived from Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors
• Standardized 0 to 1 dimensionless scale for vegetation health
• 10-day temporal resolution for monitoring seasonal changes

Limitations

• Geographic scope is restricted to Lithuania
• Raster format requires GIS software for analysis
• Specific pixel resolution is not specified in the metadata
