Description

This dataset provides global solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) estimates at a 0.05-degree resolution (approximately 5 km at the equator) for each month from January 2003 through December 2017. SIF data (740 nm) was retrieved from the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) and Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment 2 (GOME-2) instruments onboard the MetOp-A satellite. The data were downscaled to 0.05 degrees using the Random Forest algorithm and predictors from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis, and then harmonized with the cumulative distribution function (CDF) matching technique. The uncertainty of the harmonized SIF estimates was also quantified and provided. Validation of the harmonized product showed that it retained high spatial and temporal consistency with the original SCIAMACHY and GOME-2 SIF retrievals and had good correlations with independent airborne and ground-based SIF measurements. The dataset can inform on the synergy between satellite SIF and photosynthesis and research on drought, yield estimation, and land degradation evaluation. The data are provided in netCDF format.
