Update of the Biomass (AGB) products

Figure 1: Above Ground Biomass estimated with SMOS VOD, based on ESA CCI 2018

 

SMOS VOD was recently shown to be a good proxy to estimate the Above Ground Biomass, even though it is mainly driven by the vegetation water content. Two AGB estimates were already available from the CATDS, and are now extended to 2022, covering the period 2010-2022

All the information are reported in the technical note :  Boitard et al. 2023, "AGB and TH estimation from SMOS LVOD", Technical note SO-TN-CB-GS-0108, version 3 (application/pdf AGB estimation).
