The long-term NDVI quality layer is produced as a summary of the quality for the entire time period (2009 to 2022). Pixel values indicate the percentage of good NDVI observations over the entire time period. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: % Map code: L3-ZAN-QUAL-NDVI-LT **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Pixel values indicate the percentage of good NDVI observations over the entire time period. While the dekadal NDVI Quality layer shows the quality of the data for a specific time of year, the long-term NDVI quality layer has been added to give users a quick overview of the areas that tend to suffer more cloud cover. **Resource constraints:** Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download the data from Google Cloud Storage
The Evaporation (E) data component is the actual evaporation of the soil surface. The value of each pixel represents the total annual evaporation for that specific year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: mm Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-E-A.ZAN Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.1 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. This implies that other temporal aggregations (monthly, seasonal, annual), and layers that depend on those, are updated as well. Practically this means that a final annual aggregation of the most recent full calendar year can only be produced after the end of February. Likewise, the final monthly aggregation of the most recent calendar months can only be produced 2 full months later. **Citation:** FAO 2018. WaPOR Database Methodology: Level 3.

The layer gives an indication of the quality of the NDVI input data. It shows whether a valid observation was available for that dekad, and if not, the length of the data gap since the nearest valid observation, in dekads. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2023. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: Number of Dekads (D) Map code : L3-QUAL-NDVI-D.ZAN **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Licence: CC-BY-4.0 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) Resource Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) **Data lineage:** The quality layer is produced during the compositing and smoothing of the NDVI. The quality index (QI) for every pixel in each dekad depicts the number of dekads since the last valid observation used for reconstruction. The fundamental idea is that the longer the gap, the less reliable the smoothing is. When a number of consecutive dekads did not have direct observations for calculating the NDVI, the quality layer pixel value of the consecutive dekadal NDVI quality layers will represent the cumulative number of dekads since a valid observation. The user can use consecutive NDVI Quality layers to calculate the length of the gap between valid observations. In the case that the pixel observation is usable and no reconstruction was needed, the QI is set to 0 (ideal situation). For the observations at the profile edges, it is assumed that the (a priori unknown) observations preceding the first valid observation and following the last valid observations are "good".\n\nThis quality layer depicts the quality for the NDVI, fAPAR, albedo and NPP, as all these data components rely on the same input, i.e. the spectral reflectance data. Furthermore, the length of the data gap is the same. Data component developed through collaboration with the FRAME Consortium.

This land cover dataset at sub-national scale (Level 3) shows a detailed classification with information on the the crops representing at least 10% of the area. It is published on a seasonal basis. The layer indicates the quality (in percentage %) of the original classifier and whether a pixel was re-classified during post-processing. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2021-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: % Map code : L3-QUAL-LCC-S.ZAN **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Licence: CC-BY-4.0 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) Resource Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) **Data lineage:** A combination of factors influences the accuracy of the classification across a land cover classification map. All land cover maps contain a fraction of falsely classified pixels. At level 3, the land cover classification quality layer combines the result of the machine learning classifier quality output, with flags that indicate when pixels were reclassified during post-processing: - a flag value of 240 indicates that a pixel was reclassified using a fixed mask (used in isolated cases). - a flag value of 241 indicates that a pixel was reclassified during post-processing. Pixel values represent the accuracy of the classification expressed in percentage (%). A quality value close to 100 represents more certainty regarding the classification, whilst pixel values close to 0 indicate pixels for which the classification is less accurate. **Resource constraints:** Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download the data from Google Cloud Storage
The Evaporation (E) data component (dekadal, in mm/day) is the actual evaporation of the soil surface. The value of each pixel represents the average daily actual evaporation for that specific dekad. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: class Map code : L3-LCC-D.ZAN **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Training data consist of seasonal and long term metrics derived from dekadal NDVI time series, phenology and spectral reflectance data combined with reference data denoting the exact location of each of the classes specified in the table below. Data component developed through collaboration with the FRAME Consortium.

Phenology indicates the cycle or season of a crop and, in this case, is defined by the dekad (D) corresponding to the start, maximum and end of the growing season. This information can be derived from satellite-based vegetation index time series. Phenology is delivered for a maximum of two growing seasons annually. The phenology for one growing season is therefore delivered as three raster files. The first raster indicates the Start of Season (SOS), the second the Maximum of Season (MOS) and the third represents the End of Season (EOS). With a maximum of 2 growing seasons annually, a full year is described by 6 raster files. The pixel values of the phenology data components are expressed in dekad numbers. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: D (dekad number) Map code : L3-PHE-S.ZAN **Citation:** FAO 2018.

Licence: CC-BY-4.0 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) Resource Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) **Data lineage:** The year that contains the Maximum of season determines the year a growing season is attributed to (i.e. the target year). As the crop calendar is determined from a three-year NDVI time series with the target year in the middle, dekad numbers range between 1 and 108 (3 x 36 = 108 dekads). Since it occurs in the target year, MOS has a value between 37 and 72. Start of season pixel values must be smaller than 72, whilst End of season pixel values must be larger than 36. 254 denotes "no season" (if no growing season can be distinguished), and 253 "out of season". The Start, Maximum and End of up to two seasons for a given calendar year (January - December) is derived by applying the methodology described by Van Hoolst et al. (see methodology document for references). This methodology can derive phenological information from a time series of dekadal vegetation index composites, in this case NDVI.

The seasonal Net Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (total biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water beneficially consumed (through canopy transpiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. Contrary to gross water productivity, net water productivity is particularly useful in monitoring how effectively vegetation (and, more importantly, crops) uses water to develop biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided from January 2010 to 2019. **Data publication:** 2021-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/m³ Scale Factor : 0.001 Map code : L3-NBWP-S.ZAN Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.001 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. This implies that other temporal aggregations (monthly, seasonal, annual), and layers that depend on those, are updated as well.

The Interception (I) data component (dekadal, in mm/day) represents the evaporation of intercepted rainfall from the vegetation canopy. Interception is the process where rainfall is captured by the leaves. Part of this captured rainfall will evaporate again. The value of each pixel represents the average daily evaporated interception for that specific dekad. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2023. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: mm Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-I-D-ZAN Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.1 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad.

Interception is a function of the vegetation cover and precipitation. Interception is relatively high with a small amount of precipitation, with the fraction intercepted decreasing quickly as precipitation increases. The maximum interception is determined by the LAI. The following data is used for calculating interception: - Daily: incoming solar radiation and weather data (temperature, humidity and precipitation); - Dekadal: NDVI.

The seasonal Gross Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (above ground biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water consumed (actual Evapotranspiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. By relating biomass production to total Evapotranspiration (sum of soil evaporation, canopy transpiration and interception), this indicator provides insights on the impact of vegetation development on consumptive water use and thus on water balance in a given domain. When the focus is on monitoring performance of irrigated agriculture in relation to water consumption, it is more appropriate to use transpiration alone as a denominator, as a measure of water beneficially consumed by the plant. This latter indicator, for which we use the term \"net water productivity\", provides useful information on how effectively vegetation (and particularly crops) uses water to develop its biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided from January 2010 to 2019. **Data publication:** 2021-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/m³ Scale Factor : 0.001 Map code : L3-GBWP-S.ZAN Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.001 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad.

Total Biomass Production (TBP) is defined as the sum of the above-ground dry matter produced during the course of the growing season. The seasonal value represents the total accumulated biomass during one growing season, from start of season (SOS) to end of season (EOS). A pixel value of -9997 denotes "out of season". The data is provided from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/ha Scale Factor : 10 Map code : L3-TBP-S.ZAN New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad.

Licence: CC-BY-4.0 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) Resource Contact: [WaPOR](mailto:wapor@fao.org) **Data lineage:** To derive the accumulation in biomass production over or during a growing season, first the start and the end of the growing season need to be identified using the phenology data component. TBP is then calculated as the sum of NPP, converted into dry matter productivity (DMP) units (kg/ha), between the start of the season (SOS) and the end of the season (EOS). At the end of the season, when the crops for the area can be assessed, the dekadal and seasonal TBP values are adjusted using an additional root-shoot correction factor data layer that allows the user to correct the TBP using the land cover specific root-shoot values. A limitation for the derivation of TBP is the dependency on phenological information, meaning that TBP can only be derived for areas where seasonality is detected. For ecosystems, such as tropical forests or deserts, that experience almost no seasonality, the start of season is theoretically set at January 1st and end of season is set at December 31st.

The Evaporation (E) data component (dekadal, in mm/day) is the actual evaporation of the soil surface. The value of each pixel represents the average daily actual evaporation for that specific dekad. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2023. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: 255 Unit: mm Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-E-D.ZAN Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.1 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. **Citation:** FAO 2018.

(2012). It uses the Penman-Monteith equation, adapted to remote sensing input data. The Penman-Monteith equation predicts the rate of total evaporation and transpiration using commonly measured meteorological data (solar radiation, air temperature, vapour content and wind speed). It has become the FAO standard for calculating the actual and reference evapotranspiration (see FAO Irrigation and Drainage paper 56, Allen et al. 1998). The following data is used for calculating evaporation: - Daily: incoming solar radiation and weather data (temperature, humidity, wind speed and precipitation); - Dekadal: NDVI, surface albedo and soil moisture stress; - Seasonal: Land Cover; - Static: Digital Elevation Model.

The actual Evapotranspiration and Interception (ETIa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the ETIa in a given year. The data is provided from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: mm Scale Factor : 0.1 Map code : L3-AETI-A.ZAN Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.1 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. This implies that other temporal aggregations (monthly, seasonal, annual), and layers that depend on those, are updated as well. Practically this means that a final annual aggregation of the most recent full calendar year can only be produced after the end of February. Likewise, the final monthly aggregation of the most recent calendar months can only be produced 2 full months later. **Citation:** FAO 2018. WaPOR Database Methodology: Level 3.
