GPP MOD17
type: Dataset
description: Global gross primary production (GPP) and net primary production (NPP) derived from the MOD17 algorithm and distributed by the Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group (NTSG), University of Montana. Data are available via directory listing at the dataset URL and typically include multi-temporal MOD17 products (e.g., 8-day, monthly, annual) in common remote sensing / GIS formats.
