By: LP DAAC

The current Aqua and Terra MODIS Net Evapotranspiration and Net Primary Production Yearly L4 Global 500 m SIN Grid Version 6 products are considered unusable for science and validation purposes and are no longer available for distribution.Due to biases related to persistent cloud cover an interpolated input Leaf Area Index (LAI)/Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) dataset will be needed to correct the yearly products.

The MODIS products include:

  • MODIS/Aqua Net Evapotranspiration Yearly L4 Global 500 m SIN Grid V006 - MYD16A3
  • MODIS/Terra Net Evapotranspiration Yearly L4 Global 500 m SIN Grid V006 - MOD16A3
  • MODIS/AQUA Net Primary Production Yearly L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V006 - MYD17A3H
  • MODIS/Terra Net Primary Production Yearly L4 Global 500 m SIN Grid V006 - MOD17A3H

Upon resolution of the input LAI/FPAR product, the MODIS Yearly Net Evapotranspiration and Net Primary Production data will be reprocessed.
