VIIRS/JPSS1 Gross Primary Productivity and Net Photosynthesis Gap-Filled 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V002
The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Net Photosynthesis (PSN) Gap-Filled (VJ117A2GF) Version 2 data product is a cumulative composite of 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. VJ117A2GF is an 8-day composite at 500 meter spatial resolution delivered as a gridded Level 4 (L4) product in Sinusoidal projection.The VJ117A2GF will be generated at the end of each year when the entire yearly 8-day VJ115A2H is available. Hence, the gap-filled VJ117A2GF 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 VJ117A2GF in near-real time because it will be generated only at the end of a given year. Provided in the VJ117A2GF product are layers for GPP, PSN, along with a quality control layer. A low resolution browse image for GPP is also available for each VJ117A2GF granule.Known Issues* For complete information about known issues please refer to the [MODIS/VIIRS Land Quality Assessment website](https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/knownissue?sensor=VIIRS).
