Global gross plant productivity, 300m (Copernicus)

CLMS GDMP Global 300m 10-daily V1
biosphere ESA ESA Copernicus COGNetCDF
In plain English

What it measures. Measures the total amount of dry biomass plants generate by photosynthesis, before subtracting their own respiration, equivalent to gross primary production.

How it's made. Produced by ESA Copernicus from PROBA-V data up to mid-2020 and Sentinel-3 OLCI data afterwards, with an estimate every ten days at about 300-metre detail.

How & where you'd use it. Helps assess crop and ecosystem productivity and carbon uptake. Covers January 2014 to June 2020.

Official description

Equivalent to Gross Primary Production (GPP). Every 10-days estimates are available in near real time at global scale in the spatial resolution of about 300 m from January 2014 to June 2020 based upon PROBA-V data with version 1.0 and from July 2020 onwards based upon Sentinel-3/OLCI data with version 1.1.
