Dataset description

The Multi-Source Land Surface Phenology (LSP) Yearly North America 30 meter (m) Version 1.1 product (MSLSP) provides a Land Surface Phenology product for North America derived from Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) data. Data from the combined Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Sentinel-2A and 2B Multispectral Instrument (MSI) provides the user community with dates of phenophase transitions, including the timing of greenup, maturity, senescence, and dormancy at 30m spatial resolution. These data sets are useful for a wide range of applications, including ecosystem and agro-ecosystem modeling, monitoring the response of terrestrial ecosystems to climate variability and extreme events, crop-type discrimination, and land cover, land use, and land cover change mapping. Provided in the MSLSP product are layers for percent greenness, onset greenness dates, Enhanced Vegetative Index (EVI2) amplitude, and maximum EVI2, and data quality information for up to two phenological cycles per year. For areas where the data values are missing due to cloud cover or other reasons, the data gaps are filled with good quality values from the year directly preceding or following the product year. A low resolution browse image representing maximum EVI is also available for each MSLSP30NA granule.

Access through STAC (I have some Python code to access, but only works for single granules - breaks if requesting areas where granules need to be combined):

• Catalog: https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/stac/LPDAAC_ECS
• Collection: MSLSP30NA

Note: Data comes as a bunch of NetCDF files, which I have had trouble working with over large areas (hence this request!)
