MiCASA Daily NPP Rh ATMC NEE FIRE FUEL Fluxes 0.1 degree x 0.1 degree

Description

MiCASA is an extensive revision of CASA-GFED3. CASA-GFED3 derives from Potter et al. (1993), diverging in development since Randerson et al. (1996). CASA is a light use efficiency model: NPP is expressed as the product of photosynthetically active solar radiation, a light use efficiency parameter, scalars that capture temperature and moisture limitations, and fractional absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (fPAR) by the vegetation canopy derived from satellite data. Fire parameterization was incorporated into the model by van der Werf et al. (2004) leading to CASA-GFED3 after several revisions (van der Werf et al., 2006, 2010). Development of the GFED module has continued, now at GFED5 (Chen et al., 2023) with less focus on the CASA module. MiCASA diverges from GFED development at version 3, although future reconciliation is possible. Input datasets include air temperature, precipitation, incident solar radiation, a soil classification map, and several satellite derived products. These products are primarily based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra and Aqua combined datasets including land cover classification (MCD12Q1), burned area (MCD64A1), Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR; MCD43A4), from which fPAR is derived, and tree/herbaceous/bare vegetated fractions from Terra only (MOD44B). Emissions due to fire and burning of coarse woody debris (fuel wood) are estimated separately.
