Latest from TerrA-P

In the final stage of TerrA-P, a scientific roadmap for S3 based global GPP/ABP modelling will be elaborated. To share results and experiences, and to discuss the key scientific and implementation challenges, a dedicated workshop will be organized at ESA’s 2019 Living Planet Symposium. On behalf of the “TerrA-P” consortium, we are delighted to invite you to participate in this workshop – and to collaborate on the S3 GPP scientific roadmap - that will take place on Wednesday 15th of May 2019 (12.00h-14.00h) at the Agora Giardino (“Global Primary Production development with Sentinel-3 - way forward” session) at the Living Planet Symposium (MiCo - Milano Congressi, Milan, Italy). In this workshop, we want to bring an interdisciplinary group of ecophysiologists, GPP modelling experts, EO scientists and GPP data users together to exchange views, identify challenges and opportunities and prioritize future research for global EO based GPP estimates. Here you can find more information on the session and agenda.  

The following TerrA-P deliverables are now online available: * New version of the ATBDv2.2 of the P-model applied on EO data which includes a submodel for Aboveground Biomass Production (ABP) estimates. * Validation Report for ABP estimations. * Report on the implementation and evaluation of the P-model on global ENVISAT (fAPAR) * A 10-daily 1 km global test dataset of ENVISAT (MERIS fAPAR & AATSR LST) based GPP for 2007-2008 is available via the User Virtual Machines of the Mission Exploitation Platform (https://proba-v-mep.esa.int/vre). The data is located under "\data\TerrAP_GPP".

Two more deliverables are available online: The ATBD v2 and validation report. The documents describe respectively the P-model application on MERIS satellite information and performance over FLUXNET sites. They can be found here.

February 28, 2018: The TerrA-P project results were presented at the Land Products Validation and Evolution 2018 workshop organised by ESA-ESRIN. See Publications.

The science review meeting successfully took place in Antwerp, Belgium on 29 May. The project partners together with ESA concluded on the first phase of the project and discussed the definition of the user requirements and a first version of the algorithm.

The official deliverables, being the Requirements Baseline Document and ATBD v1 are now available here.

This meeting also kick started the second phase of the project, where the P-model will be further elaborated, implemented and validated on satellite data from MERIS and Sentinel 3.”

April 04, 2017: Poster of the FLEX conference is available.
