Description
Penman-Monteith-Leuning Evapotranspiration V2 (PML_V2) products include evapotranspiration (ET), its three components, and gross primary product (GPP) at 500m and 8-day resolution during 2000-2023 and with spatial range from -60°S to 90°N. The major advantages of the PML_V2 products are:
- Coupled estimates of transpiration and GPP via canopy conductance (Gan et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2019)
- Partitioning ET into three components: transpiration from vegetation, direct evaporation from the soil, and vaporization of intercepted rainfall from vegetation (Zhang et al., 2016).
The PML_V2 products perform well against observations at 95 flux sites across globe, and are similar to or noticeably better than major state-of-the-art ET and GPP products widely used by water and ecology science communities (Zhang et al., 2019).
Key changes in v0.1.8 compared with the original v0.1.4:
- Temporal coverage is lengthened to the latest (may update annually) with the MODIS C6.1 data.
- MODIS Terra LAI (MOD15A2H) is used rather than the composite LAI (MCD15A3H).
- Parameters are recalibrated with the change in LAI, while other forcings remain the same.
