We performed a quality assessment and validation of Version 1 Collection 300 m products that were consistent with the guidelines of the Land Product Validation (LPV) subgroup of the Committee on Earth Observation System (CEOS) Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV). The spatiotemporal patterns of Collection 300 m V1 LAI, fAPAR and fCOVER products are consistent with CGLS Collection 1 km V1, Collection 1 km V2 and Moderate Resolution Imagery Spectroradiometer Collection 6 (MODIS C6) products. The Collection 300 m V1 products have good precision and smooth temporal profiles, and the interannual variations are consistent with similar satellite products. The accuracy assessment using ground measurements mainly over crops shows an overall root mean square deviation of 1.01 (44.3%) for LAI, 0.12 (22.2%) for fAPAR and 0.21 (42.6%) for fCOVER, with positive mean biases of 0.36 (15.5%), 0.05 (10.3%) and 0.16 (32.2%), respectively. The products meet the CGLS user accuracy requirements in 69.1%, 62.5% and 29.7% of the cases for LAI, fAPAR and fCOVER, respectively. The CGLS will continue the production of Collection 300 m V1 LAI, fAPAR and fCOVER beyond the end of the PROBA-V mission by using Sentinel-3 OLCI as input data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12061017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,24]],"date-time":"2020-03-24T07:16:08Z","timestamp":1585034168000},"page":"1017","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":157,"title":["Quality Assessment of PROBA-V LAI, fAPAR and fCOVER Collection 300 m Products of Copernicus Global Land Service"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Fuster","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Laboratory (EOLAB), Parc Cientific University of Valencia, C\/ Catedr\u00e0tic Agust\u00edn Escardino, 9, 46980 Paterna, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Zapero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Laboratory (EOLAB), Parc Cientific University of Valencia, C\/ Catedr\u00e0tic Agust\u00edn Escardino, 9, 46980 Paterna, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Camacho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Laboratory (EOLAB), Parc Cientific University of Valencia, C\/ Catedr\u00e0tic Agust\u00edn Escardino, 9, 46980 Paterna, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vicente","family":"Garc\u00eda-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Observation Laboratory (EOLAB), Parc Cientific University of Valencia, C\/ Catedr\u00e0tic Agust\u00edn Escardino, 9, 46980 Paterna, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9374-1745","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleixandre","family":"Verger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CREAF, 08193 Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s), Catalonia, Spain"},{"name":"CSIC, Global Ecology Unit CREAF-CSIC-UAB, 08193 Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s), Catalonia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roselyne","family":"Lacaze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HYGEOS, Euratechnologies, 165 avenue de Bretagne, 59000 Lille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2341-667X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie","family":"Weiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR1114 EMMAH, INRA, Centre PACA, B\u00e2timent Climat, Domaine Saint-Paul, 228 route de l\u2019A\u00e9rodrome, CS 40509, 84914 Avignon CEDEX, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederic","family":"Baret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR1114 EMMAH, INRA, Centre PACA, B\u00e2timent Climat, Domaine Saint-Paul, 228 route de l\u2019A\u00e9rodrome, CS 40509, 84914 Avignon CEDEX, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Smets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), Remote Sensing Unit, Boeretang 200, B-2400 Mol, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, January 27).
