Incident photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is required by almost all terrestrial ecosystem models. The current PAR products that are developed for climate studies have much coarser spatial resolution and higher temporal resolution and are not suitable for land applications. We have developed a set of methods for mapping high spatial resolution incident PAR from both polar-orbiting and geostationary satellite observations. Several years PAR data using MODIS and GOES visible imagery are generated.
