Phenological data sets
- informally called the MODIS Global Vegetation Phenology product
- available globally from 2001 – 2012
- 500 m geometrical resolution
- based on MOD09 surface reflectance product

- focusses on growing season length (GSL)
- available globally from 1982 – 2012
- based on GIMMS 3g

- derived onset of greenness (OG), end of senescence (EOS), and length of season (LS)
- from (MERIS) Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) data at 1 km spatial resolution
- for Europe
EO data suitable for Land Surface Phenology
EO data (vegetation indices, biophysical parameters) with a high temporal resolution from sensors such as
- MODIS onboard Aqua and Terra
- AVHRR (e.g. GIMMS NDVI3g)
- MERIS onbord ENVISAT (2002-2012)
- VIIRS onboard Suomi NPP
- Landsat TM, ETM+, OLI
- Sentinel-2
Timelines of major EO satellites with optical, thermal and radar sensors can be found in
