MCD15A3H v061 500m LAI data in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and southwest China (2002-2021)


The MCD15A3H version 6.1 medium resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS) level 4, combined fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) and leaf area index (LAI) products are a 4-day composite dataset with a pixel size of 500 meters. The algorithm selects the best pixel available from all the acquisition of MODIS sensors on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites within 4 days. LAI is defined as one-sided green leaf area per unit area in broad-leaved tree crown and one-half of total coniferous surface area per unit area in coniferous tree crown.


File naming and required software

MCD15A3H LAI data is stored in tif format. The file name is "MCD15A3H_yyyy_mm_dd. tif", where yyyy represents the year, mm represents the month, and dd represents the date. E.g. MCD15A3H_ 2006_ 01_ 01.tif represents the tif document describing the leaf area index from January 1, 2006 to January 4, 2006.
Data reading method: All tif files in the dataset can be opened directly with Arcgis.
