Summary:

A BOREAS version of the Global Production Efficiency Model (www.inform.umd.edu/glopem) was developed by TE-17 to generate maps of gross and net primary production, autotrophic respiration, and light use efficiency for the BOREAS region. This document provides basic information on the model and how the maps were generated. The data generated by the model are stored in binary image-format files.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/data/boreas/TE/te17pem/comp/TE17_PEM_Images.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
