| Description |
During photosynthesis, plants fluoresce. This faint glow is in the infrared part of the spectrum, not visible to the naked eye but detectable by satellites orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth. NASA scientists established a method to turn this satellite data into global maps of the subtle phenomenon in more detail than ever before. The new maps, released in 2013, provide a 16-fold increase in spatial resolution and a 3-fold increase in temporal resolution over the first proof-of-concept maps released in 2011. This lets scientists use fluorescence to observe, for example, variation in the length of the growing season. These visualizations of the phenomenon shows global land plant fluorescence data collected from 2007 to 2011, combined to depict a single average year. Darker greens indicates regions with little or no fluorescence; lighter greens and white indicate regions of high fluorescence.
