Title:: derived AVHRR BU leaf area index in 0.5x0.5

Source_file:: This product is generated from monthly 1/12 degree AVHRR BU leaf area index observations

Conventions:: Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

Creation_date:: Tue Mar 25 17:04:13 PDT 2014

Approach:: I read this variable from original abl files using matlab and simply averaged 15-day (half monthly) data to get monthly data. I also interpolated data from 1/12 (0.0833) degree into 0.5 degree and saved the data in NetCDF format.

Temporal resolution:: monthly

General information:: This product was derived from half monthly AVHRR BU leaf area index from Boston University.

Spatial resolution:: 0.5x0.5 degree

Derived data code:: http://redwood.ess.uci.edu/mingquan/www/ILAMB/Download/CODES/CODES/subroutines/convert/convert-lai-avhrr.ncl
