Description
In the frame of the ECOPROPHET project, data was collected from in situ observations, remote-sensing sources and models for 61 sites. The objective of this project was to improve our understanding of ecosystem productivity and the role of vegetation phenology as a key determinant of ecosystem carbon, water and energy balances.

This dataset contains timeseries of observed GPP, modelled GPP (using 15 models), along with key hydrometeorological variables (shortwave radiation, air temperature, vapor pressure deficit and soil moisture).
The timeseries are at daily resolution, covering the period 2007-2018 (depending on the data availability per site).
The dataset is partly extracted from:
- FLUXNET2015 dataset (Pastorello et al., 2020) and the ICOS ’2018 drought initiative’ dataset (Drought 2018 Team
and ICOS Ecosystem Thematic Centre, 2019). Original dataset available at https://fluxnet.org/ and https://www.icos-cp.eu/data-products/ YVR0-4898 - ERA5 product (Hersbach et al., 2020); Original dataset available at https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/
