Mayotte FAPAR Vegetation Index Anomalies: 10-Day VIIRS Composites

Copernicus provides 10-day composite geospatial data of Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) anomalies for Mayotte. Derived from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), these records monitor vegetation health and agricultural drought impacts. The data is provided in GeoTIFF format with values ranging from 0 to 1.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought by analyzing FAPAR anomaly values across 10-day intervals
• Monitoring vegetation health trends in Mayotte using the 0 to 1 dimensionless scale
• Assessing crop productivity impacts by correlating VIIRS-derived greenness indices with local environmental factors

Strengths

• 10-day temporal resolution
• Standardized 0-1 biophysical scale
• Derived from VIIRS satellite imagery

Limitations

• Geographic scope restricted to Mayotte
• Requires GIS software for raster processing
• No tabular metadata provided
