This image is made from NASA's MOD13A1 product with a combination of visible and near-infrared data from the MODIS instrument carried by the Terra and Aqua satellites, which gives an idea of vegetation development. This is because vegetation absorbs a lot of visible channel radiation but strongly reflects near-infrared radiation. The image has a resolution of 500 m, is refreshed every 16 days and shows the data accumulated in the indicated period.
The image finally presented here is the result of a collaboration between AEMET and IGN.
