Medium Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity: VPP Quality Flag 2000-2025 (raster 392m)
The Quality Flag (QFLAG), one of the Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (VPP) parameters, is a product of the pan-European Medium Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (MR-VPP) component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS).
The Plant Phenology Index (PPI) is a physically based vegetation index for improved monitoring of plant phenology, that is developed from a simplified solution to the radiative transfer equation by Jin and Eklundh (2014). PPI has a linear relationship with green leaf area index, a strong correlation with gross primary productivity, and is capable of disentangling remotely sensed plant phenology from snow seasonality.
The QFLAG dataset is made available as raster files with 392 x 392 m resolution, in ETRS89-LAEA projection corresponding to the MCD43 tiling grid.
IMPORTANT: The full access to open and free data for this resource will be made available upon request.

The Copernicus component is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013.
Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that:
1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services.
2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this.
3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union.

- Statement
- The VPP Quality Flag (QA) is generated during MR-VPP processing from smoothed Plant Phenology Index (PPI) seasonal trajectories. PPI is derived from MODIS NBAR red and near-infrared reflectance and processed with TIMESAT Version 4.2 to extract annual phenology and productivity parameters; the QA layer summarises the reliability of the seasonal retrieval for each year and season. The product is delivered as a 392m raster in the ETRS89-extended LAEA Europe projection (EPSG:3035) for the 2000–2025 MR-VPP archive.
