  Title:

derived GBAF in 0.5x0.5

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly Global Biosphere Amtospher Flux (GBAF) observations

  Conventions:

Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  Creation_date:

Thu Jul 30 15:10:46 PDT 2015

  Approach:

I read this variable from data file, and then save the data in NetCDF format by each month and each year. Meanwhile, I also converted the unit from gC/m2/day to KgC/m2/day.

  Temporal resolution:

monthly

  General information:

This product was derived from Monthly estimates of global biosphere-atmosphere fluxes from Biogeochemistry group at Max Planck Institute in Jena, Germany.

  Spatial resolution:

0.5x0.5 degree

  Derived data code:
