Brief description
This product provides estimates of canopy conductance at a global scale (0.05⁰) based on MODIS reflectance from MCD43C4 product and three vegetation indices (NDVI, EVI and Kc). The data is produced globally at 0.05⁰ and every 8 days. Monthly and anuual climatologies are also available.Base Period for Climatology: 2001-2011

Lineage: Below the calibrated equations to generate the canopy conductance product
Gc_NDVI=2^(4.11 (NDVI-〖NDVI_min))
Gc_EVI=〖2.5〗^(3.15(EVI-〖EVI〗_min))
Gc_Kc=〖0.3〗^(5.14k_c )
Gc_final=average(Gc_NDVI,Gc_EVI,Gc_Kc)
