  • The seasonal Gross Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (above ground biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water consumed (actual Evapotranspiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. By relating biomass production to total Evapotranspiration (sum of soil evaporation, canopy transpiration and interception), this indicator provides insights on the impact of vegetation development on consumptive water use and thus on water balance in a given domain. When the focus is on monitoring performance of irrigated agriculture in relation to water consumption, it is more appropriate to use transpiration alone as a denominator, as a measure of water beneficially consumed by the plant. This latter indicator, for which we use the term \"net water productivity\", provides useful information on how effectively vegetation (and particularly crops) uses water to develop its biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

  • The seasonal Net Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (total biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water beneficially consumed (through canopy transpiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. Contrary to gross water productivity, net water productivity is particularly useful in monitoring how effectively vegetation (and, more importantly, crops) uses water to develop biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

    The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is computed by applying the ration between red and NIR spectral bands and maximum aggregated over MOFALI center pivots in Khongor, Mongolia for the Kharif season (July to October) 2019.

  • Phenology indicates the cycle or season of a crop and, in this case, is defined by the dekad (D) corresponding to the start, maximum and end of the growing season. This information can be derived from satellite-based vegetation index time series. Phenology is delivered for a maximum of two growing seasons annually. The phenology for one growing season is therefore delivered as three raster files. The first raster indicates the Start of Season (SOS), the second the Maximum of Season (MOS) and the third represents the End of Season (EOS). With a maximum of 2 growing seasons annually, a full year is described by 6 raster files. The pixel values of the phenology data components are expressed in dekad numbers. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

  • Total Biomass Production (TBP) is defined as the sum of the above-ground dry matter produced during the course of the growing season. The seasonal value represents the total accumulated biomass during one growing season, from start of season (SOS) to end of season (EOS). A pixel value of -9997 denotes "out of season". The data is provided in near real time from January 2015 to present.
