LAI quantifies the total foliage surface area per ground surface area. LAI has been identified by the Global Climate Observing System as an essential climate variable required for ecosystem, weather and climate modelling and monitoring. This product consists of a national scale coverage (Canada) of monthly maps of the maximum LAI during a growing season (May-June-july-August-September) at 20m. References: L. Brown, R. Fernandes, N.

L'ISF quantifie la surface totale du feuillage par surface au sol. L'ISF a été identifié par le Système mondial d'observation du climat comme une variable climatique essentielle requise pour la modélisation et la surveillance des écosystèmes, du temps et du climat. Ce produit est constitué d'une couverture à l'échelle nationale (Canada) de cartes mensuelles de l'ISF maximum pendant une saison de croissance (mai-juin-juillet-août-septembre) à une résolution de 20 m.
