ESA Greenhouse Gases Climate Change Initiative (GHG_cci): Column-averaged methane from Sentinel-5P, ... $This product is the column-average dry-air mole fraction of atmospheric methane, denoted XCH4. It has been retrieved from radiance measurements from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite in the 2.3 Âµm spectral range of the solar spectral range, using the Weighting Function Modified Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (WFM-DOAS or WFMD) retrieval algorithm. This dataset is also referred to as CH4_S5P_WFMD.The WFMD algorithm is based on iteratively fitting a simulated radiance spectrum to the measured spectrum using a least-squares method. The algorithm is very fast as it is based on a radiative transfer model based look-up table scheme. The product is limited to cloud-free scenes on the Earth's day side.This data was produced as part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.$

High Resolution Land Cover-Specific Solar-Induced Fluorescence, Midwestern USA, 2018 $This dataset provides estimated solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) of specific vegetation types and total SIF under clear-sky and real/cloudy conditions at a resolution of 4 km for the Midwest USA. The estimates are 8-day averaged daily means over the 2018 crop growing season for the time period 2018-05-01 to 2018-09-29. SIF of a specific vegetation type (i.e., corn, soybean, grass/pasture, forest) was expressed as the product of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy (fPAR), and canopy SIF yield (SIFyield) for each vegetation type. Uncertainty of each variable was also calculated and is provided. These components of the SIF model were derived using a TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) dataset, the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service Cropland Data Layer, and the MODIS MCD15A2H 8-day 500 m fPAR product. These data could be used to improve estimates of vegetation productivity and vegetation stress.$
