Abstract
The scope of the LSA SAF is the development and implementation of algorithms, which take full advantage of remotely sensed data from EUMETSAT satellites. The life cycle of EUMETSAT satellites put the LSA SAF in a privileged position as a product/service provider for monitoring of climate and environment. The high rate of acquisition provided by the SEVIRI instrument guarantees the availability of spatially consistent cloud-free data for adequately monitoring both the seasonality of vegetation and the long term trends in the state of vegetation. Currently, FVC, LAI and FAPAR daily products are already generated on a pixel-by pixel basis in the SEVIRI/Meteosat resolution over Europe, Africa and South America.
