Load Jambi MODIS Data from GitHub Repository

Description

This function loads the Jambi dataset from a GitHub repository hosted at https://github.com/haghbinh/dataset/Rfssa_dataset. Hosting datasets on GitHub rather than including them in the Rfssa R package conserves storage space. The Jambi dataset contains normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI) image data from NASA’s MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) with global coverage at a 250 m^2 resolution. The dataset covers the Jambi Province, Indonesia, known for various forested land uses, including natural forests and plantations. Monitoring land cover changes is crucial, especially in the context of forest exploitation and conservation efforts. Seasonal variations significantly impact long-term land cover changes. Data collection began on February 18, 2000, and continued until July 28, 2019, with data recorded every 16 days. This dataset is valuable for studying vegetative land cover changes in the region.

Usage

loadJambiData()

Format

A list containing two arrays, each with dimensions 33 by 33 by 448. One array represents NDVI image data, and the other represents EVI image data. The list also contains a date vector of length 448, specifying the capture date for each 33 by 33 image.
