Monitoring the state of the global terrestrial surfaces
Following the loss of Envisat/Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), we propose a
procedure taking advantage of the Joint Research Center (JRC) Two-stream Inversion Package (TIP) products in
order to bridge the gap between operational FAPAR MERIS and the up-coming Ocean Land Color
Instrument (OLCI) on board Sentinel-3. The state of vegetation is then analyzed using estimates of monthly FAPAR from
1998-2012 using NASA/Sea-viewing Wide Field-ofview Sensor (SeaWiFS), MERIS and Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) JRC TIP products. Temporal and global anomalies derived
from the analysis of this time series highlight geographical regions subject to changes in 2012 with respect to previous years.
