  • The seasonal Gross Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (above ground biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water consumed (actual Evapotranspiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. By relating biomass production to total Evapotranspiration (sum of soil evaporation, canopy transpiration and interception), this indicator provides insights on the impact of vegetation development on consumptive water use and thus on water balance in a given domain. When the focus is on monitoring performance of irrigated agriculture in relation to water consumption, it is more appropriate to use transpiration alone as a denominator, as a measure of water beneficially consumed by the plant. This latter indicator, for which we use the term \"net water productivity\", provides useful information on how effectively vegetation (and particularly crops) uses water to develop its biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

  • The Transpiration (T) data component is the actual transpiration of the vegetation canopy. The value of each pixel represents the total annual transpiration for that specific year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

  • Net Primary Production (NPP) is a fundamental characteristic of an ecosystem, expressing the conversion of carbon dioxide into biomass driven by photosynthesis. The pixel value represents the NPP for that specific month. The data is provided in near real time from January 2015 to present.

  • The actual EvapoTranspiration and Interception (ETIa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the ETIa in a given year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

  • The Transpiration (T) data component is the actual transpiration of the vegetation canopy. The value of each pixel represents the total annual transpiration for that specific year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

  • The actual EvapoTranspiration and Interception (ETIa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the ETIa in a given year. The data is provided in near real time from January 2015 to present.

  • The Interception (I) data component (dekadal, in mm/day) represents the evaporation of intercepted rainfall from the vegetation canopy. Interception is the process where rainfall is captured by the leaves. Part of this captured rainfall will evaporate again. The value of each pixel represents the average daily evaporated interception for that specific dekad. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.
