Phenology-adaptive / static MODIS composites: seamless multi-annual (2005+-2) and seasonal (POS, EOS, MOS) image composites across Zambia
Description
This dataset contains seasonal, multi-annual MODIS reflectance composites generated across Zambia for 2005 +-2 years. The data is associated to following paper: D. Frantz, A. Röder, M. Stellmes, and J. Hill (2017): Phenology-Adaptive Pixel-Based Compositing using Optical Earth Observation Imagery. Remote Sensing of Environment 190, 331-347. DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2017.01.002 A parametric compositing technique was employed to produce composites from very dense MODIS reflectance images (MOD09GA product, 1-2 day temporal resolution). Composites were generated for three phenological seasons: peak of season (POS), end of season (EOS) and minimum of season (MOS). Two different sets were produced: (1) phenology-adaptive composites that explicitly consider the land surface phenology of each pixel and (2) static composites that use a fixed and global target DOY representative for the seasons. The images are in Standard ENVI Format. Naming convention: 20050228_PBC_INF_zambia.dat - First 8 digits: Mean date of selected observations; the temporal sequence is POS, EOS, and MOS - PBC_INF / PBC_REF: composite criteria / reflectance composite The reflectance composites are 6-band (0.469µm, 0.555µm, 0.645µm, 0.859µm, 1.640µm, 2.130µm), 16bit bsq images. The composite criteria images are 4-band (number of observations, selected DOY, diff. to target DOY, diff. to target year), 16bit bsq images.
