[1] is an HDF5 file containing surface meteorological drivers, MODIS/ VIIRS vegetation fPAR and LAI, and other data necessary for calibrating and validating the MOD17 and VNP17 GPP models at FLUXNET towers. It also contains driver data and field-based NPP data for calibrating and validating MOD17/ VNP17 NPP models.

[2] and [3] are the global, 5-km GPP and NPP simulations using the updated MOD17 parameters and new VNP17 model parameters. Other than their 5-km resolution, these global, annual GeoTIFF files are formatted the same as MOD17A3H data; see the User Guide for more information. The same scale factors apply to recover geophysical units: multiply the values by 0.0001 to obtain [kg C m-2 year-1].
