Green Chlorophyll Vegetation Index (GCI) - Switzerland [1984-1989, Landsat]
This dataset is an time-serie of Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD)- derived Green Chlorophyll Vegetation Index (GCI) computed from Landsat 5-7-8 data. GCI is used to estimate the content of leaf chlorophyll in various species of plants using the forumla GCI=(NIR/Green) – 1. See Gitelson et al. (2003) DOI: 10.1029/2002gl016450 The chlorophyll content reflects the physiological state of vegetation; it decreases in stressed plants and can therefore be used as a measurement of vegetation health. GCI values ranges from -1 to +1. Values are provided as integer and multiplied by 1000 Metrics: annual (_annual) and seasonal (_spring; _summer; _autumn; _winter) mean (_nanmean), standard dev (_nanstd), min (_nanmin), max (_nanmax), median (_nanmedian), and amplitude (_range) Data format: GeoTiff This dataset has been genereated with the Swiss Data Cube (http://www.swissdatacube.ch) in the frame of the ValPar.CH project
