Green Chlorophyll Vegetation Index (GCI) - Sentinel-2 [2016-2021] - Switzerland

This dataset is an time-serie of Sentinel-2 Analysis Ready Data (ARD)- derived Green Chlorophyll Vegetation Index (GCI) computed from Sentinel-2 data. GCI is used to estimate the content of leaf chlorophyll in various species of plants using the forumla GCI=(b8/b3) – 1. See Gitelson et al. (2003) DOI: 10.1029/2002gl016450 The chlorophyll content reflects the physiological state of vegetation; it decreases in stressed plants and can therefore be used as a measurement of vegetation health.


GCI values ranges from -1 to +1.

Values are provided as integer and multiplied by 1000


Metrics: annual (_annual) and seasonal (_spring; _summer; _autumn; _winter) mean (_nanmean), standard dev (_nanstd), min (_nanmin), max (_nanmax), median (_nanmedian), and amplitude (_range)
