The Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES), through its Spectral thematic program, is introducing enhanced phenocam-derived products. These updates include snow presence detection in Level 3 time-series data, improved weighted means for vegetation indices, and extended data availability for various regions of interest. These products are critical for advancing vegetation and phenological studies across ecosystems such as farmlands, forests, and wetlands. The new data, covering the period 2022-2024, is currently being uploaded to the SITES Data Portal. Plans are also underway to reprocess the entire archive of phenocam datasets, making them soon available to researchers and the public.
