Description

The Landsat Net Primary Production (NPP) CONUS dataset estimates NPP using Landsat Surface Reflectance for CONUS. NPP is the amount of carbon captured by plants in an ecosystem, after accounting for losses due to respiration. NPP is calculated using the MOD17 algorithm (see MOD17 User Guide) with Landsat Surface Reflectance, gridMET, and the National Land Cover Database.

Name	Units	Min	Max	Scale	Description
annualNPP	kg*C/m^2	0	65535	0.0001	Annual net primary production
QC	%	0	255		Percentage of gap-filled Landsat 16-day composites. Gaps are caused by missing data, high cloud contamination, and/or erroneous pixels. A value of 255 indicates incomplete data due to failure of the gap-filling method.
