ENVISAT BIOMASAR GSV

Period: 2010 Sensor: ENVISAT ASAR Resolutions: 0.01 degree Extent: Northern Hemisphere Data can be accessed here. Algorithm description: The Growing Stock Volume (GSV) is estimated using BIOMASAR algorithm that relies on the following Water Cloud type of model: where  represents the backscattering of forest, ground or canopy,    a coefficient and V is GSV. The above equation is inverted using measured backscatter to retrieve…

WUR Global Forest Biomass

Period: 2000 Resolutions: 0.01 degree Extent: Global Data can be accessed here. Algorithm description: This Pan-tropical biomass map is created using a novel fusion approach, that integrates two existing large-scale biomass maps. The fusion model consists of bias removal and weighted linear averaging of the input maps to produce an output with greater accuracy than each of the input maps Next,…
