HiQ-FPAR: A High-Quality and Value-added MODIS Global FPAR Product from 2000 to 2023 by Kai Yan, Xinpei Yu, Jinxiu Liu, Jingrui Wang, Xiuzhi Chen, Jiabin Pu, Marie Weiss, Ranga B. Myneni

“…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. …”
