Evaluation of Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation Products for Different Canopy Radiation Transfer Regimes: Methodology and Results Using Joint Research Center Products Derived from SeaWiFS Against Ground-Based Estimations.
Journal of Geophysical Research – Atmospheres, 2006, 111 (D13110), p. 1-15.

The authors would like to thank the SeaWiFS Project (Code 970.2) and the Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center/Distributed Active Archive Center (Code 902) at the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, for the production and distribution of these data, respectively. These activities are sponsored by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise.

SeaWiFS scenes (full resolution Local Area Coverage images and sub-sampled Global Area Coverage images) covering the study area have been processed and subsequently mapped with a nearest neighbor technique on a 2-km resolution regular grid, as explained in [Mélin et al. (2002)]. .
