Phenology (GIMMS NDVI3g)

Phenology based on the GIMMS NDVI3g product A 1/12-degree vegetation phenology product for the northern hemisphere (1982-2014) Description: (Update on November 29, 2021: The documentation is now added.) Our vegetation phenology product consists of spring phenology and autumn phenology estimates with 1/12-degree spatial resolution for the northern hemisphere over the period 1982-2014. This product is derived from the latest GIMMS NDVI3g dataset, one of the most widely used NDVI datasets to monitor global vegetation. To ensure the quality of phenology results, some pre-processes were performed. The pixels with annual mean NDVI less than 0.1 were considered as non-vegetated areas and were excluded in phenology estimation. The Savizky-Golay filter was applied to the GIMMS NDVI3g dataset to minimize the noise before phenology estimation. Five phenology retrieval methods were used.
