Description

Overview: This is a set of images produced by Temporal Fourier Analysis (TFA) of MODIS data: NDVI: Normalised Difference Vegetation Index EVI: Enhanced Vegetation Index MIR: Middle Infra-Red DLST: Day-time Land Surface Temperature NLST: Night-time Land Surface Temperature The imagery summarises some key environmental indicators, incorporating seasonal dynamics, for The European and North African extent.This series of version 6 MODIS data, processed according to Scharlemann et al (2008), has been updated to include imagery from 2001 to 2021.  Process: Image values were extracted from MODIS imagery form 2001 to 2021. The day and night land temperature came from the 8 day MOD11A2  data whilst the vegetation indices and Middle Infra Red values  were extracted from the MOD13A2 16 day datasets.  Each parameter extract dataset was then processed by a temporal Fourier processing algorithm. A stepwise system of thresholds and interpolations screened erroneous values and bridged gaps in the time series. The smoothed series was sampled at 5-day intervals and transformed into a set of sine curves describing annual, bi-annual, and tri-annual fluctuations. For each of these curves, the Fourier algorithm generated images expressing the amplitude, phase, and variance. Other output recorded the mean, minimum, and maximum of the time series, and error measured during the Fourier transform. For a detailed description of the Fourier algorithm and its output, please see the article by Scharlemann et al., 2008 (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0001408)Sea pixels were masked with a MODIS land/sea layer and the images were projected from sinusoidal to geographic. The E4warning study region was subset from global images. Idrisi rasters were converted to GeoTIFF format in order to give data users more flexibility. Projection + EPSG code:Latitude-Longitude/WGS84 (EPSG: 4326) File names: The er at the start of each file name indicates that the image covers the wider Europe and North Africa region included in the E4warning study area and is in geographic projection. 21 refers to the year timeline of 2001-2021.The next two characters identify the channel:03 - middle infra-red07 - daytime land surface temperature08 - nighttime land surface temperature14 - NDVI: Normalised Difference Vegetation Index15 - EVI: Enhanced Vegetation IndexThe last two characters of each file name denote the output from Fourier processing:a0 - meanmn - minimummx - maximuma1 - amplitude of annual cyclea2 - amplitude of bi-annual cyclea3 - amplitude of tri-annual cyclep1 - phase of annual cyclep2 - phase of bi-annual cyclep3 - phase of tri-annual cycled1 - variance in annual cycled2 - variance in bi-annual cycled3 - variance in tri-annual cycleda - combined variance in annual, bi-annual, and tri-annual cyclesvr - variance in raw dataParameter Fourier Variable Image values areMIR (03) A0, A1, A2, A3, Min, Max, Vr Reflectance values * 10000LST (07 day,08 night) A0, A1, A2, A3, Min, Max, Vr (Degrees Centigrade+273)*50NDVI (14) and EVI (15) A0, A1, A2, A3, Index Value * 1000NDVI (14) and EVI (15) A0, Min, Max, Index Value * 1000 + 10000NDVI (14) and EVI (15) VR Value * 10000ALL D1,D2,D3,Da PercentagesALL E1,E2,E3 PercentagesALL P1,P2.P3 Months*100.
