MOD17A2HGF.061: Terra Gross Primary Productivity 8-Day Global 500m

  • The dataset provides Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) as a cumulative 8-day composite at 500-meter pixel size.

  • It is based on the radiation use efficiency concept and is available from 2021-01-01 to 2024-12-26.

  • The dataset includes bands for GPP, Net Photosynthesis (PsnNet), and Quality Control (Psn_QC).

  • MODIS data and products acquired through the LP DAAC have no restrictions on subsequent use.

Description

The MOD17A2HGF Version 6.1 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product is a cumulative 8-day composite of values with 500 meter (m) pixel size based on the radiation use efficiency concept that can be potentially used as inputs to data models to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation.
