MODIS/Terra Gross Primary Productivity 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V006
The MOD17A2H Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the [MOD17A2H Version 6.1](https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MOD17A2H.061) data product.The MOD17A2H Version 6 Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product is a cumulative 8-day composite of values with 500 meter (m) pixel size based on the radiation use efficiency concept that can be potentially used as inputs to data models to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation. The data product includes information about GPP and Net Photosynthesis (PSN). The PSN band values are the GPP less the Maintenance Respiration (MR). The data product also contains a PSN Quality Control (QC) layer. The quality layer contains quality information for both the GPP and the PSN. 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=MODIS&sat=Terra&as=6).Improvements/Changes from Previous Versions* The product uses updated Biome Property look-up tables (BPLUT) and an updated version of the daily Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) meteorological data.* The products are now generated at the native resolution of 500 m using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Leaf Area Index(LAI)/Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) ([MOD15A2H](https://doi.org/10.5067/modis/mod15a2h.006)) 8-day composite at 500 m resolution.
