This data set is comprised of one image map and five (5) data files. The data files contain satellite Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data and climate data for northern West Siberia, 2000-2016, derived from standard gridded data products. Regional NDVI and climate time series from the study area are provided in the data archive. These data were statistically analyzed for trends and interannual variability and covariability in Miles et al. (2019) 'Varying climate response across the tundra, forest-tundra and boreal forest biomes in northern West Siberia', Environmental Research Letters 14, doi:10.1088/1748-9326/ab2364. This data set was produced in the National Science Foundation (NSF) project 'Collaborative Research: HIARC: Anthropogenic Heat Islands in the Arctic: Windows to the Future of the Regional Climates, Ecosystems, and Societies' (NSF grant ARC 1535845). The international HIARC project was performed within the Belmont Forum Collaboration Research Action (CRA) on 'Arctic Observing and Research for Sustainability', with funding from NSF, the Research Council of Norway, and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.
