Global satellite remote sensing records show evidence of re- cent vegetation greening and an advancing growing season at high latitudes. Satellite remote sensing-derived measures of photosynthetic leaf area index (LAI) and vegetation gross and net primary productivity (GPP and NPP) from the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Pathfinder
