L2 Daily Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF) from ERS-2 GOME, 1995-2003

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This dataset provides Level 2 Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF) of Chlorophyll estimates derived from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) instrument on the European Space Agency's (ESA's) European Remote-Sensing 2 (ERS-2) satellite. Each file contains daily raw and bias-adjusted solar-induced fluorescence on an orbital basis (land pixels only), at a resolution of 40 km x 320 km, along with quality control information and ancillary data. Data is provided for the period from 1995-07-01 to 2003-06-22. The GOME SIF product is inherently noisy due to low signal levels and has undergone only a limited amount of validation. This dataset includes both Version 1 and Version 2 files. Version 2 includes new fields such as SIF uncertainties, longitude-latitude corners, and data coverage over ocean. In addition, the SIF bias adjustment differs between Versions 1 and 2. The data are provided in NetCDF format.
