Park Falls, Wisconsin, USA eddy covariance data and MODIS data

Description

The dataset Park_Falls contains MODIS observations as well as ground-based eddy covariance flux tower data for the Ameriflux tall tower located in Park Falls, Wisconsin, USA. The data span the period 1 May 2005 through 31 July 2005.

Format

The dataset Park_Falls contains four data frames:

PFa_evi

timestamped MODIS EVI from NASA's Terra satellite (MODIS product MOD13Q1).

PFa_refl

timestamped MODIS surface reflectances in the red, blue, near infrared (NIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands (MODIS product MCD43A4).

PFa_phen

timestamped MODIS phenology dynamics data (MODIS product MOD12Q2)

PFa_tower_obs

timestamped air temperature (TA), net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (FC), and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) data.
