Planetary Variables

Planetary Variables are analysis-ready data feeds that measure important conditions on the surface of the Earth including: Soil Water Content, Land Surface Temperature, Crop Biomass, and Forest Structure and Carbon. These products draw on observations from numerous public and commercial satellite missions to generate datasets that have broad, continuous geographic coverage and high-temporal resolution.
