Introduction：

The global MODIS normalized difference vegetation index 0.05 degree seamless data cube is calculated based on the 0.05 degree surface reflectance data aggregated from the global seamless data cube (SDC500) of surface reflectance. The temporal resolution of this dataset is daily, covering the period from 2000 to 2022. For a detailed description of the SDC500 data, please refer to the website (http://data.starcloud.pcl.ac.cn/resource/27 ↗). The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) can be used to estimate vegetation cover and understand vegetation growth status, which is of great significance for global climate change, environmental monitoring, and agricultural production research.

Description of data file name and format：

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data is in GeoTiff format. The naming convention for this dataset is as follows: SDC005DEG_V10_NDVI_2016066.tif. In this naming convention, "DEG" represents the unit of degree (°), and "SDC005DEG" is the shorthand for the dataset, representing the 0.05° seamless data cube (Seamless Data Cube 0.05°). "V10" denotes the version number, which is currently at version 1.0. "NDVI" indicates that the data content is the normalized difference vegetation index. The date code "2016066" is in the format of yyyy-DDD, where "yyyy" represents the year, and "DDD" represents the day of the year.
