Amazon Forests Where Sensors and Models Can Overestimate the Green-Up

Caption

Blue colors represent areas in Amazon forests where sensors and models can overestimate the green-up of vegetation; white represents areas that lack forest cover. The map is based on a model that extends the sun-sensor correction to all pixels in the southern Amazon.
