MODIS/Terra Gross Primary Productivity 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V006

The MOD17A2H Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the MOD17A2H Version 6.1 data product.

The MOD17A2H Version 6 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product is a cumulative 8-day composite of values with 500 meter (m) pixel size based on the radiation use efficiency concept that can be potentially used as inputs to data models to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation. The data product includes information about GPP and Net Photosynthesis (PSN). The PSN band values are the GPP less the Maintenance Respiration (MR). The data product also contains a PSN Quality Control (QC) layer. The quality layer contains quality information for both the GPP and the PSN.
