| Snow Cover | Snow cover on land and inland water | % snow cover | 500m square | 1 day/8 days | 1200 km squares around the globe | HDF-EOS | 2000-present |
| Gridded Snow Cover | Snow cover on land and inland water | % snow cover | 0.05° square | Daily/8-days | Global | HDF-EOS | 2000-present |
| Land Cover/Land Change | "Various types of land cover (density of plants, urban, etc.)" | Enumeration: Water, Evergreen/deciduous, broadleaf/needle, mixed forrest, closed & open shrubs, woody savannas, savannas, grasslands, permanent wetlands, croplands, urban, cropland/natural vegetation mosaic, permanent snow/ice, barren, unclassified | 1km grid | Annual snapshot every 96 days | Global | HDF-EOS & ASCII | July 2000-present |
| Vegetation Cover Conversion and Continuous Fields | The global distribution of vegetation cover change. Where there is sufficient evidence, the type of change will be labeled (e.g., forest conversion to agricultural fields or grassland or bare surface). | 0=no change 1=deforestation with 90% certainty 2=deforestation with 80% certainty | 250m or 500m grid | 16 or 32 days | Global | HDF-EOS | 2000-present |
| Vegetation Indices | Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) or “greenness index” provides a measure of the vegetation’s health and the stress that is affecting the vegetation. It is calculated as a ratio using atmospherically corrected reflectances from the visible and near infrared. The other index is the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) which reduces the interference of smoke and saturation (highest possible reading in areas of high vegetation), and bare soil. | Dimensionless, calculated as a ratio | 250m, 500m, 1km, 25km grids | 16 days/1 month | Global | HDF-EOS | 2000-present |
| Leaf Area Index (LAI) & (FPAR) | LAI defines an important structural property of a plant canopy, the number of equivalent layers of leaves vegetation displays relative to a unit ground area. FPAR measures the proportion of available radiation in the specific photosynthetically active wavelengths of the spectrum 0.4 - 0.7 mm that a canopy absorbs. It is non-linearly related to the LAI. | % | 1 km grids | 1 day/8 days | Global | HDF-EOS | 2000-present |
| Vegetation Production | An accurate regular measure of the growth of the terrestrial vegetation. Production is determined by first computing a daily net photosynthesis value which is then summed over a 8 day interval. | gC/m2/day | 1 km grid | 8-day | Global | HDF-EOS | 2000-present |
| Net Primary Productivity | Accurate regular measure of the growth of the terrestrial vegetation. | gC/m2 | 1 km grid | Annual | Global | HDF-EOS | 2001-present |
| Land surface temperature | Land temperature within 0.2 degrees Celsius. | Degrees C | 1 km, 5 km, .05 degree | Daily, 8-day, month | Global | HDF-EOS | 2001-present |
| Sea surface temperature | Sea surface temperature within 0.25 degree Celsius. | Degrees C | 1 km | Daily, Weekly, Day and Night | Global | HDF-EOS | 2001-present |
| Vegetation moisture stress | Vegitation moisture stress (or fuel moisture stress index (FMSI)) indicates the flamability of particular plants in comparison to their 15-year average flamability. Positive numbers indicate increased flamability, and negative numbers indicate decreased flamability. | Unitless | 250 m | 16-day | Global | HDF-EOS | 2001-present |
| Evapotranspiration | Surface resistance and evapotranspiration for estimating photosynthesis, respiration, and net primary production. | Evapotranspiration fraction index (0-100) | 1 km grid | 8-day | Global over land | HDF-EOS | 2001-present |
| Aerosol optical depth | Visibility based on atmospheric extinction through a vertical column of air. | Scale of 0-3 | 1 km grid | 8-day/yearly | Global | HDF-EOS | 2001-present |
