MYD17A2H.061: Aqua Gross Primary Productivity 8-Day Global 500m

    • The MYD17A2H V6.1 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product is an 8-day composite at 500m resolution.

    • This product is based on the radiation-use efficiency concept and can be used in data models for various terrestrial processes.

    • The dataset is available from January 1, 2021, to September 30, 2025, and is provided by NASA LP DAAC at the USGS EROS Center.

    • Key bands include Gpp, PsnNet, and Psn_QC, with a pixel size of 500 meters.

    • MODIS data acquired through the LP DAAC have no restrictions on subsequent use, sale, or redistribution.

    Description

    The MYD17A2H V6.1 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product is a cumulative 8-day composite with a 500m resolution. The product is based on the radiation-use efficiency concept and can be potentially used as inputs to data models to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation.
