OGC service
This OGC service, provided under the Copernicus Programme, delivers Long Term Statistics (LTS) and Short Term Statistics (STS) derived from the 10-daily Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) at 1km resolution, version 3. NDVI, defined as (NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red), indicates vegetation density. LTS covers the 20-year period 1999-2019 and STS covers 2015-2019, both computed for each of the 36 dekads of the year. Statistics include minimum, median, maximum, mean, standard deviation, and number of observations. These reference values allow comparison with actual NDVI observations, supporting the monitoring of anomalous vegetation conditions across Europe and beyond. Access to the service is not free.The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a widely used, dimensionless index that is indicative for vegetation density and is defined as NDVI=(NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red) where NIR corresponds to the reflectance in the near infrared bands, and Red to the reflectance in the red bands. The time series of 10-daily NDVI 1km version 3 observations is used to calculate Long Term Statistics (LTS), over the 20-year period 1999-2019, and Short Term Statistics (STS), over the 5-year period (2015-2019), for each of the 36 10-daily periods (dekads) of the year. The calculated statistics include the minimum, median, maximum, mean, standard deviation and the number of observations in the covered time series period. These statistics can be used as a reference for actual NDVI observations, which allows monitoring of anomalous vegetation conditions.

Data access
This API doesn't publish a machine-readable schema (such as an OpenAPI spec) that we can read automatically, so there's no field list to show here. See the documentation for its available endpoints and response formats.
