Following publication of this Data Descriptor, it was found that the method for thresholding inclusion of monthly Normalised Difference of Vegetation Index (NDVI) values in the Globe-LFMC dataset was incorrectly stated as >80% of values in a given window missing due to cloud and snow masking. This has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions.

In addition, due to a datum assignment error, values included in Table 5 were incorrectly reported. Table 5 has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions, and the underlying data corrected in the associated figshare record.
