Ecosystem Production in Space and Time (ePiSaT) models Gross Primary Production (GPP) across the Australian continent from OzFlux flux tower data, gridded climate and satellite (MODIS) data. ePiSaT can be used to estimate ecosystem variables by partitioning OzFlux eddy covariance data to estimate GPP, light use efficiency (LUE), the maximum rate of carboxylation (Amax) etc. Once determined, the ePiSaT-modelled variables can be used in the well-founded and tested LUE approach to estimate GPP. Sample OzFlux data from Howard Springs is provided; ePiSaT requires the user to provide fAPAR, observed radiation, temperature and humidity data.
