Carbon captured by plants worldwide, 300m (Copernicus, 2023-2026)

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

What it measures. Estimates how much carbon plants pull from the air and lock into new growth through photosynthesis over each period, an indicator of an ecosystem's carbon uptake.

How it's made. Produced by ESA Copernicus from the Sentinel-3 satellites' OLCI instrument, with a value every ten days at about 300-metre detail.

How & where you'd use it. Useful for carbon-cycle research, climate modelling and tracking how productive ecosystems are. This version covers 2023 through 2026.

Official description

Provides the total amount of carbon compounds produced by photosynthesis of plants in an ecosystem in a given period of time. 10-daily observations are available at global scale in the spatial resolution of 300 m and with the temporal extent from 2023 to 2026.
