  Conventions: Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  source_file: This product is generated from monthly 1/12 degree AVHRR BU leaf area index observations

  title: derived AVHRR BU leaf area index in 0.5x0.5

  Approach: I read this variable from original abl files using matlab and simply averaged 15-day (half monthly) data to get monthly data. I also interpolated data from 1/12 (0.0833) degree into 0.5 degree and saved the data in NetCDF format.

  Temporal resolution: monthly

  General information: This product was derived from half monthly AVHRR BU leaf area index from Boston University.

  Spatial resolution: 0.5x0.5 degree
