Description

This dataset provides global gridded daily estimates of gross primary production (GPP) and uncertainties at 0.05-degree resolution for the period 2000-03-01 to the recent past. The GPP was derived from the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on the NASA Terra and Aqua satellites using the MCD43C4v006 Nadir Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF)-Adjusted Reflectances (NBAR) product as input to neural networks that were used to globally upscale GPP estimated from selected FLUXNET 2015 eddy covariance tower sites. Additional data will be added periodically.
