The global long-term microwave Vegetation Optical Depth Climate Archive (VODCA)

<p>Since the late 1970s, space-borne microwave radiometers have been providing measurements of radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface. From these measurements it is possible to derive vegetation optical depth (VOD), a model-based indicator related to the density, biomass, and water content o...
