Vegetation phenology is the description of periodic plant life cycle events across the growing seasons. Vegetation phenology with remote sensing is typically monitored by means of time series of vegetation indices. Vegetation indices address the amount of green biomass and allow the differentiation of the intensity of photosynthetic activity. This in turn depends on the plant functional types and dynamics during the growing season. These time series datasets are made available as raster files with 500x 500m resolution, in ETRS89-LAEA projection corresponding to the MCD43 tiling grid, for those tiles that cover the EEA38 member countries and the United Kingdom and for two seasons in each year from 2000 onwards. It is updated in the first quarter of each year.

Access to data is based on a principle of full, open and free access as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. This regulation establishes registration and licensing conditions for GMES/Copernicus users. Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that:

1.When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information.

2.Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union.

3.Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this.

4.The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.
