NASA Global Vegetation Water Content Map 

This product was developed to be used as input in the SMAP science data products (soil moisture). The vegetation water content (VWC) is calculated using following equation:   where NDVI is Normalized Difference Vegetation Index,  and  are annual maximum and minimum NDVI and stemfactor is parameter accounting for  peak stem water content. MODIS NDVI data was used…
