RGB composite MASTER image from data collected during the SARP campaign over Pyramid Lake, California, USA  on 2009-07-24. Image derived from bands 12, 10, 9 spanning visible to near-infrared wavelengths.

Gridded mean aboveground biomass density (top) and standard error of the mean (bottom).

Global map of daily mean Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) for July 2010 at 0.05 degree resolution. The USA's Corn Belt (insert) showed the largest SIF emission during the growing Season (Image Credit: Jiaming Wen 2022).

Annual timeseries of daily cross-validation mean absolute error (MAE), averaged over all station days for each year, comparing results for Daymet V4 and Daymet V3. (a) MAE for estimation of daily maximum temperature. (b) MAE for estimation of daily total precipitation. Image from Thornton et al. 2021.
