Seasonal to interannual variability of vegetation and fires at SAFARI 2000 sites inferred from advanced very high resolution radiometer time series data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the SAFARI 2000 and SAFARI 1992 intensive campaigns in the context of the interannual variability of vegetation conditions in southern Africa, showing the vegetation evolution for the 2000 growing season, with unprecedented high and persistent NDVI anomalies associated with a cold phase of ENSO (La Nina) and above average rainfall between November and May, south of 15°S.
Journal ArticleDOI
A land cover change monitoring program: Strategy for an international effort
TL;DR: Outputs from this program would provide support to the Framework Convention on Climate Change, lead to the development of consistent country-level emission inventories, and address important scientific problems in global change research such as closing the global carbon budget.
Journal ArticleDOI
Data sets for global remote sensing: lessons learnt†
TL;DR: Global data sets from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) have provided the community with some preliminary tools to address global change research issues and helped the research community to decide where new and improved instrumentation and processing techniques are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of the global 1-km AVHRR land dataset
Philippe M. Teillet,N. El Saleous,Matthew C. Hansen,Jeffery C. Eidenshink,Christopher O. Justice,John R. Townshend +5 more
TL;DR: The dataset has made a significant contribution, and a strong recommendation is made for its reprocessing and continuation to produce a long-term record for global change research.
