  Title:

derived MODIS total leaf area index in 0.5x0.5

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly climatology MODIS total 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:

Wed Mar 5 15:35:03 PST 2014

  Approach:

I simply read this variable from original hdf file, and save the data in NetCDF format.

  Temporal resolution:

monthly

  General information:

This product was derived from MODIS Climatology Leaf Area Index (LAI) from NCAR group.

  Spatial resolution:

0.5x0.5 degree
