The MODIS Leaf Area Index (LAI) Product is a global product produced every 8 days. The Leaf Area Index is estimated by a radiative transfer model assuming a given distribution of biome types within each pixel. The LAI Product was evaluated for the period of May 2002 to September 2002. The temporal p...
