Peru Vegetation Health: 10-Day FAPAR Anomaly GEOTIFFs

10-day time composite GEOTIFF rasters measure Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) anomalies across Peru. Produced by Copernicus using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data, the records track vegetation health and greenness. The most recent update was documented in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Detecting agricultural drought using FAPAR anomaly pixel values
• Analyzing vegetation productivity via 10-day composite time-series
• Mapping environmental stress zones based on the 0-1 health index

Strengths

• 10-day composite intervals
• VIIRS sensor source
• CC-BY license

Limitations

• Geographic restriction to Peru
• Raster format requires GIS tools
• Cloud cover noise
