MUSES Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) 8-Day Global 500m SIN Grid in 2002

<p>The MUltiscale Satellite remotE Sensing (MUSES) product suite includes products with different spatial and temporal resolutions for parameters such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation (NIRv), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC), Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Primary Production (NPP).&nbsp;For more information about the MUSES products, please refer to this website (<a href="https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/">https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/</a>).</p> <p>This dataset is the MUSES global&nbsp;FAPAR product at 500m spatial&nbsp;resolution&nbsp;and 8-day temporal resolution.&nbsp;The MUSES FAPAR product is&nbsp;provided&nbsp;on a Sinusoidal grid&nbsp;and spans from 2000 to 2019 (continuously updated).&nbsp;It was generated from the MUSES LAI product at 500m resolution and other ancillary information using the complement to unity of the transmittance of PAR through the entire canopy (Xiao&nbsp;<em>et al</em>., 2015).&nbsp;The MUSES&nbsp;FAPAR values are&nbsp;the instantaneous values at 10:30 am local time, close approximation of daily average PAPAR values, and they are&nbsp;physically consistent with the corresponding&nbsp;MUSES&nbsp;LAI values.&nbsp;The MUSES FAPAR product is spatially complete and temporally continuous.</p> <p>This dataset is the MUSES&nbsp;FAPAR product in 2002.&nbsp;<em>Please&nbsp;<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7821835#.ZDdD8HZBypo"><strong>click here</strong></a>&nbsp;to download the&nbsp;MUSES&nbsp;FAPAR product&nbsp;<strong>in 2001</strong></em>,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7817758#.ZDX0_eZBw2x"><strong>click here</strong></a>&nbsp;to download the&nbsp;MUSES&nbsp;FAPAR product&nbsp;<strong>in 2003</strong></em>.</p> <p><strong>Dataset Characteristics:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Spatial Coverage: Global</li> <li>Temporal Coverage:&nbsp;2002</li> <li>Spatial Resolution: 500m</li> <li>Temporal Resolution: 8 days</li> <li>Projection: Sinusoidal</li> <li>Data Format: HDF</li> <li>Scale: 0.004</li> <li>Valid Range: 0 &ndash; 250</li> </ul> <p><strong>Citation&nbsp;</strong>(Please cite this paper whenever these data are used)<strong>:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Xiao Zhiqiang,&nbsp;<em>et al</em>., Estimating the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation from the MODIS databased GLASS leaf area index product.&nbsp;<em>Remote Sensing of Environment</em>, 171,105-117, 2015.</li> <li>Xiao Zhiqiang,&nbsp;<em>et al</em>., Evaluation of Three Long Time Series for Global Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) Products.&nbsp;<em>IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing</em>, 56, 5509-5524, 2018.</li> <li>Zheng Y., Xiao Z., Li J., Yang H., Song J., Evaluation of Global Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) Products at 500 m Spatial Resolution.&nbsp;<em>Remote Sensing</em>, 14, 3304, 2022.</li> </ol> <p>If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Zhiqiang Xiao (zhqxiao@bnu.edu.cn).</p>
