Monthly fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation absorbed of Canada from Medium Resolution Satellite Imagery

Monthly fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation absorbed of Canada from Medium Resolution Satellite Imagery Fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) quantified the absorbed by green foliage. fAPAR has been identified by the Global Climate Observing System as an essential climate variable required for ecosystem, weather and climate modelling and monitoring. This product consists of a national scale coverage (Canada) of monthly maps of fAPAR during a growing season (May-June-July-August-September) at 20m resolution. References: L. Brown, R. Fernandes, N.
