VIIRS/JPSS1 Gross and Net Primary Production Gap-Filled Yearly L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V002

The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Gross and Net Primary Production (NPP) Gap-Filled (VJ117A3GF) Version 2 data product is a cumulative composite of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) values based on the radiation-use efficiency concept that is potentially used as inputs to data models to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation. VJ117A3GF is a yearly composite at 500 meter spatial resolution delivered as a gridded Level 4 (L4) product in Sinusoidal projection.The VJ117A3GF will be generated at the end of each year when the entire yearly 8-day VJ115A2H is available. Hence, the gap-filled VJ117A3GF is the improved VJ117A2, which has cleaned the poor-quality inputs from 8-day Leaf Area Index and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (LAI/FPAR) based on the Quality Control (QC) label for every pixel. If any LAI/FPAR pixel did not meet the quality screening criteria, its value is determined through linear interpolation. However, users cannot get VJ117A3GF in near-real time because it will be generated only at the end of a given year. Provided in the VJ117A3GF product are layers for GPP, NPP, along with a quality control layer. A low resolution browse image for GPP is also available for each VJ117A3GF granule.Known Issues* For complete information about known issues please refer to the MODIS/VIIRS Land Quality Assessment website.
