Spot-vegetation Citation Availability: Restricted The data are withheld from general circulation and disclosure but access may be obtained on a case-by-case basis through negotiation Notes: Restrictions available at contact person Description The VEGETATION system allows a daily monitoring of terrestrial vegetation cover through remote sensing at a global level. The instrument and associated ground services for processing and distribution are operational since 1998. The VEGETATON 1 instrument onboard of the SPOT 4 satellite was launched in March 1998, VEGETATION 2 was launched in May 2002 onboard of SPOT 5.

The red and near infrared are particularly well adapted to describe the vegetation photosynthesis activity, while the SW infrared is a good detector for the ground and vegetation humidity. The blue, is designed in this case to make atmospheric corrections.
