PML_V2: Coupled Evapotranspiration and Gross Primary Product (CAS/IGSNRR/PML/V2)

Penman-Monteith-Leuning Evapotranspiration V2 (PML_V2) products include
evapotranspiration (ET), its three components, and
gross primary product (GPP) at 500m and 8-day resolution during 2002-2017
and with spatial range from -60°S to 90°N. The major advantages of the
PML_V2 products are:

1. coupled estimates of transpiration and GPP via canopy
   conductance (Gan et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2019)
2. partitioning ET into three components: transpiration from vegetation,
   direct evaporation from the soil and vaporization of intercepted
   rainfall from vegetation (Zhang et al., 2016).

The PML_V2 products perform well against observations
at 95 flux sites across globe, and are similar to or noticeably better than
major state-of-the-art ET and GPP products widely used by water and ecology
science communities (Zhang et al., 2019).
