Abstract:
The Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) is essential for assessing vegetation's photosynthetic efficiency and ecosystem energy balance. While the MODIS FPAR product provides valuable global data, its reliability is compromised by noise, particularly under poor observation conditions like cloud cover. To solve this problem, we developed the Spatio-Temporal Information Composition Algorithm (STICA), which enhances MODIS FPAR by integrating quality control, spatio-temporal correlations, and original FPAR values, resulting in the High-Quality FPAR (HiQ-FPAR) product. HiQ-FPAR shows superior accuracy compared to MODIS FPAR and Sensor-Independent FPAR (SI-FPAR), with RMSE values of 0.130, 0.154, and 0.146, respectively, and R² values of 0.722, 0.630, and 0.717. Additionally, HiQ-FPAR exhibits smoother time series in 52.1% of global areas, compared to 44.2% for MODIS. Available on Google Earth Engine and Zenodo, the HiQ-FPAR dataset offers 500 m and 5 km resolution at an 8-day interval from 2000 to 2023, supporting a wide range of FPAR applications.
