VOD2LFMC: Global leaf moisture content
Impression of the VOD2LFMC dataset.
The VOD2LFMC dataset contains global estimates of leaf moisture content as defined as live-fuel moisture content (LFMC) derived from passive microwave satellite observation of vegetation optical depth (VOD). LFMC is defined as the fresh mass of a leaf over the dry mass.
