We present the
first time series FUI dataset for large global lakes
from 2000–2018 based on MODIS observations. This dataset provides
significant information on spatial and temporal changes of water colour for global large lakes during the past 19 years. It will be valuable to studies in search of
the drivers of global and regional lake colour
change, and the interaction mechanisms between water colour, hydrological
factors, climate change, and anthropogenic activities.
