New Global Satellite Dataset Fixes Time-Related Errors in Vegetation Chlorophyll Fluorescence

Scientists have developed a satellite dataset that provides new insights into the global ecosystem health and productivity over the past 15 years. This new dataset, known as the Temporally Consistent Solar-Induced Fluorescence (TCSIF), offers a more reliable way to track changes in vegetation and photosynthesis across the globe from 2007 to 2021. The study, led by Professor LIU Liangyun from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was published in Earth System Science Data.
