Most LAI\/FPAR products are retrieved from non-geostationary satellite observations. Long revisit times and cloud\/cloud shadow contamination lead to temporal and spatial gaps in such LAI\/FPAR products. For more effective use in monitoring of vegetation phenology, climate change impacts, disaster trend etc., in a timely manner, it is critical to generate LAI\/FPAR with less cloud\/cloud shadow contamination and at higher temporal resolution\u2014something that is feasible with geostationary satellite data. In this paper, we estimate the geostationary Himawari-8 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) LAI\/FPAR fields by training artificial neural networks (ANNs) with Himawari-8 normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) LAI\/FPAR products for each biome type. Daily cycles of the estimated AHI LAI\/FPAR products indicate that these are stable at 10-min frequency during the day. Comprehensive evaluations were carried out for the different biome types at different spatial and temporal scales by utilizing the MODIS LAI\/FPAR products and the available field measurements. These suggest that the generated Himawari-8 AHI LAI\/FPAR fields were spatially and temporally consistent with the benchmark MODIS LAI\/FPAR products. We also evaluated the AHI LAI\/FPAR products for their potential to accurately monitor the vegetation phenology\u2014the results show that AHI LAI\/FPAR products closely match the phenological development captured by the MODIS products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11131517","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,27]],"date-time":"2019-06-27T07:59:57Z","timestamp":1561622397000},"page":"1517","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Generation and Evaluation of LAI and FPAR Products from Himawari-8 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yepei","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Department of Earth and Environment, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2664-9479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaimin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8079-4079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Environment, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ting","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Department of Geography, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14261, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taejin","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Environment, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weile","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramakrishna R.","family":"Nemani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ranga B.","family":"Myneni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Environment, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"421","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3040.1992.tb00992.x","article-title":"Defining leaf area index for non-flat leaves","volume":"15","author":"Chen","year":"1992","journal-title":"Plant Cell Environ."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1380","DOI":"10.1109\/36.649788","article-title":"Estimation of global leaf area index and absorbed par using radiative transfer models","volume":"35","author":"Myneni","year":"1997","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
