Dataset Summary:
This dataset consists of Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 multispectral reflectance imagery and MERRA-2 observations centered around eddy covariance flux towers and the corresponding Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) data at the towers. Its purpose is to serve as a finetuning dataset for geospatial foundation models for the task of regressing GPP flux observations from HLS and MERRA-2 data.
Dataset Structure:
The dataset consists of: <br/> (1) HLS 6-band Tiff files of dimension 50x50x6, with the center of the chip colocated with flux tower locations, <br /> (2) 10-dimensional vector of MERRA-2 variables for each chip (1x1x10) recording temperature, soil moisture, heat flux, radiation, precipitation at the flux towers, <br /> (3) Daily GPP data derived from the eddy covariance measurements using the night-time partitioning approach at 37 flux tower sites distributed globally spanning 2018 to 2021. There are a total of 975 instances. MERRA-2 data and GPP flux observations are recorded as csv files, with a row corresponding to each HLS chip.
HLS Band Order:
1, Blue, B02 <br /> 2, Green, B03 <br /> 3, Red, B04 <br /> 4, NIR, B8A <br /> 5, SW 1, B11 <br /> 6, SW 2, B12

Data Splits:
The dataset consists of 975 chips and we split the dataset based on years to create train test splits. Given the relatively small size of the dataset, we use a leave-one-year-out-cross-validation approach to train and evaluate. The number of observations vary across years. In this repo, we have used three years for training and one year as test.
Dataset Creation:
The flux observation sites guide our HLS and MERRA-2 data preparation process. HLS data is preselected with a 25% maximum cloud threshold and 75% minimum spatial threshold. We note the lat/long of the flux stations and extract 50x50 size HLS chips around each station and retain scenes with less than 2% snow cover and less than 5% cloud cover. HLS reflectance is transformed by the scaling factor. We record the daily hourly mean of each abovementioned MERRA-2 data at each of the flux location sites. We then apply a quality check on the daily GPP data and retain those with at least 60% of high quality hourly and half-hourly data for temporal aggregation. We further removed data with large negative GPP values (GPP <= -0.1gCm<sup>-2</sup>s<sup>-1</sup>) indicative of poor data quality. After matching the corresponding input HLS and MERRA-2 data for each GPP record, we removed instances that had large negative Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) values (EVI <= -0.1), indicative of cloud/snow impacts. EVI values were computed as the spatial average of the HLS chips.
