GlobalSample global image.

Satellite:  8-day MODIS derived products are available for FPAR and LAI at 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree resolution. Images may occassionally contain gaps due to missing data in the MODIS products.

Weather: Daily gridded maps are available for global maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, and solar radiation. Data are derived from NCDC meteorological data and gridded at 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree resolution. Data and images may be lagged by 14 days or more depending on the availability of data from NCDC.

NPP: Monthly global Net Primary Productivity (NPP) anomaly maps are generated using global meteorological data and MODIS MOD17 algorithm at 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree resolution. These vegetation production maps are designed to provide an accurate regular measure of the growth of the terrestrial vegetation.

Images shown are for demonstration only. Please contact us to request data.


Sample temperature nowcast. Continental U.S.

Satellite: 8-day MODIS derived products are available for FPAR, LAI, NDVI, and EVI at 8-km resolution.

Weather: Daily gridded maps are available for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, and solar radiation. Data are derived from multiple meteorological networks and gridded at 8-km resolution.

Ecosystem Model: Using TOPS and the Ecocast architecture, we currently produce daily 8-km nowcasts of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and soil moisture for the continental U.S.

California
Sample FPAR nowcast.
Satellite:  8-day MODIS derived products are available for FPAR, LAI, NDVI, EVI and Land Surface Temperature (LST) at 1-km resolution.

Weather: Daily gridded maps are available for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, and solar radiation. Data are derived from multiple meteorological networks within California and gridded at 1-km resolution.

Ecosystem Model: Using TOPS and the Ecocast architecture, we currently produce daily 1-km nowcasts of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and soil moisture for California.

Images shown are for demonstration purposes only. Please contact us to request data.



Yosemite National ParkSample Yosemite image.

Satellite: 8-day MODIS derived products are available for FPAR, LAI, NDVI, EVI and Land Surface Temperature (LST) at 1-km resolution.

Weather: Daily gridded maps are available for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, and solar radiation. Data are derived from multiple meteorological networks within Yosemite National Park and gridded at 30-m resolution. These products are experimental products and still being evaluated.

Ecosystem Model: Model-derived data products and images for Yosemite are currently being evaluated and will be added to this site soon.

Images shown are for demonstration only. Please contact us to request data.



Napa ValleySample irrigation forecast.

Ecosystem Model: Sample images and seasonal animations are provided for a vineyard in Napa Valley from TOPS and the Vineyard Simulation Irrigation System (VSIM) model. The VSIM component model in TOPS provides daily forecasts of irrigation requirements, daily soil moisture, leaf area index, and daily leaf water potential. These forecasts assist vineyard managers in monitoring crop quality and adjusting vineyard irrigation schedules.
