We are pleased to announce that the new version 3.1 of the Surface albedo 10-daily gridded data from 1981 to present dataset and the new version 4.1 of the Leaf area index and fraction absorbed of photosynthetically active radiation 10-daily gridded data from 1981 to present have been published on the Climate Data Store (CDS) on 18-11-2025.
The Surface albedo v3.1 data covers the period July 2018-December 2024 and it is the operational version that replaces the previously available pre-operational V3. It includes:
- the latest available Sentinel-3 A/B SLSTR (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) and OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument ) dataset
- more spectral albedo bands
- a higher spatial resolution compared to V2 and V1
For more details, please have a look at the documentation.
The LAI/fAPAR v4.1 data covers the period July 2018-December 2024 and it is the operational version that replaces the previously available pre-operational V4.0. The version have been produced using data obtained from sensors onboard the Sentinel-3 satellites, specifically the OLCI and the SLSTR.
For more details, please have a look at the documentation.
