MODIS/AQUA MYD17A2H Gross Primary Productivity 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid Version 6

The version 6 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product is a cumulative 8-day composite of values with 500 meter 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. The data product includes information about Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Net Photosynthesis (PSN). The PSN band values are the GPP minus the Maintenance Respiration (MR). The data product also contains a PSN Quality Control layer. The quality layer contains quality information for both the GPP and the PSN. Information on individual MODIS GPP Products along with improvements/changes for Version 6 are available at:
