This video presentation describes FLCC indices and several example applications. Monthly, annual, and decadal FLCC digital maps (indices) were derived for June-September 1999-2009 for coastal California from the Oregon border to Pt. Arguello from 26,000 hourly night and day Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) images FLCC indices can improve analyses of biogeographic and bioclimatic species distribution models; understanding meteorological mechanisms driving FLCC patterns; solar energy feasibility studies; investigations of ecohydrology, evapotranspiration, and agricultural irrigation demand; and viticulture ripening models.
