L2 Daily Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF) from MetOp-B GOME-2, 2013-2021

This dataset provides Level 2 (L2) Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF) of chlorophyll estimates derived from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment 2 (GOME-2) instrument on the European Meteorological Satellite (EUMETSAT) MetOp-B with ~0.5 nm spectral resolution and wavelengths between 734 and 758 nm. GOME-2 covers global land (observations up to 75-degree solar zenith angle) at a resolution of approximately 40 km x 80. Data are provided for the period from 2013-04-01 to 2021-06-07. Each file contains daily raw and bias-adjusted solar-induced fluorescence along with quality control information and ancillary data. SIF measurements can provide information on the functional status of vegetation including light-use efficiency and global primary productivity that can be used for global carbon cycle modeling and agricultural applications. The GOME-2 SIF product is inherently noisy owing to low signal levels and has undergone only a limited amount of validation. The data are provided in netCDF (*.nc) format.
