SMAP L4 Global Daily 9 km EASE-Grid Carbon Net Ecosystem Exchange, Version 6

This data set is retired and no longer available for download. We recommend using the newest version of SMAP L4 Global Daily 9 km EASE-Grid Carbon Net Ecosystem Exchange (SPL4CMDL) data set as an alternative.

The Level-4 (L4) carbon product (SPL4CMDL) provides global gridded daily estimates of net ecosystem carbon (CO2) exchange derived using a satellite data based terrestrial carbon flux model informed by the following: Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) L-band microwave observations, land cover and vegetation inputs from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), and the Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5) land model assimilation system. Parameters are computed using an Earth-fixed, global cylindrical 9 km Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid, Version 2.0 (EASE-Grid 2.0) projection.
