The LCI is a normalised difference index based on MODIS bands in the mid-infrared portion of the spectrum. The index is produced from 500-m MODIS nadir BRDF adjusted reflectance (NBAR) data. As with all products derived from passive remote sensing imagery, this product represents the world as seen from above. Therefore, the cover recorded by this product represent what would be observed from a birds-eye-view. Therefore, dense canopy may prevent observation of significant soil exposure. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[110.0, -45.0], [155.0, -45.0], [155.0, -10.0], [110.0, -10.0], [110.0, -45.0]]]} 110.0 155.0 -45.0 -10.0 LCI Clarke, K., Lewis, M., Dutkiewicz, A., Forward, G., and Ostendorf, B., (2011) Spatial and Temporal Monitoring of Soil Erosion Risk with Satellite Imagery.
