GEOLAND Project

The normalized surface reflectances from the CYCLOPES project derived from the VEGETATION sensor are provided by the Biogeophysical Parameter Core Service (CSP) to the Land cover change and Forest monitoring Observatory (OLF) for multispectral analyses of the change of state of ecosystems in Africa and Boreal Eurasia. The image below is an example of spectral composite of such normalized surface reflectances.

The reflectances retrieved over Africa and Boreal Eurasia are available, together with their algorithmic documentation (ATBD) and technical documentation (readme).
