The value range of the fAPAR goes from 0 to 1. It is available for all of Europe. fAPAR is available since 1997-09-01 every ten days. This product is still under development. JRC makes no warranties regarding the correctness of the data and disclaims any liability for inconveniencies resulting from its use.

The MERIS fAPAR time series started in June 2002. [MERIS characteristics: - DISTANCE: 1200m; - EXTENT: west: -32, east: 69.9991, south: 24.9984, north: 72] From January 2012, the fAPAR estimates used within EDO are produced by the Flemish institute for technological research (VITO) , applying the MGVI algorithm to SPOT-VEGETATION images.
