Landsat Net Primary Production CONUS (UMT/NTSG/v2/LANDSAT/NPP)

Version 0.2.0

The Landsat Net Primary Production (NPP) CONUS dataset estimates NPP using
Landsat Surface Reflectance for CONUS. NPP is the amount of
carbon captured by plants in an ecosystem, after accounting for losses due to
respiration. NPP is calculated using the MOD17 algorithm (see MOD17 User
Guide
) with
Landsat Surface Reflectance, gridMET, and the National Land Cover Database.

QCPercentage of gap-filled Landsat 16-day composites. Gaps are caused by missing data, high cloud contamination, and/or erroneous pixels. A value of 255 indicates incomplete data due to failure of the gap-filling method. %
