MOD17A3HGF.061: Terra Net Primary Production Gap-Filled Yearly Global 500m

  • The MOD17A3HGF V6.1 product provides annual Gross and Net Primary Productivity (GPP and NPP) data at 500m resolution.

  • NPP is calculated from the sum of 8-day Net Photosynthesis (PSN) values, which are derived from GPP and Maintenance Respiration (MR).

  • The dataset covers the period from 2001 to 2023 and is available globally.

  • Data is freely accessible for use, sale, and redistribution with proper citation to the LP DAAC.

  • Earth Engine provides tools for analyzing and visualizing this dataset.

Description

The MOD17A3HGF V6.1 product provides information about annual Gross and Net Primary Productivity (GPP and NPP) at 500m pixel resolution. Annual NPP is derived from the sum of all 8-day Net Photosynthesis(PSN) products (MOD17A2H) from the given year. The PSN value is the difference of the Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and the Maintenance Respiration (MR) (GPP-MR).
