摘要：Although a key driver of Earths climate system, global land-atmosphere energy fluxes are poorly constrained. Here we use machine learning to merge energy flux measurements from FLUXNET eddy covariance towers with remote sensing and meteorological data to estimate global gridded net radiation, latent and sensible heat and their uncertainties. The resulting FLUXCOM database comprises 147 products in two setups: (1) 0.0833 resolution using MODIS remote sensing data (RS) and (2) 0.5 resolution using remote sensing and meteorological data (RS+METEO). Within each setup we use a full factorial design across machine learning methods, forcing datasets and energy balance closure corrections. For RS and RS+METEO setups respectively, we estimate 2001-2013 global (1s.d.) net radiation as 75.491.39Wm2 and 77.522.43Wm2, sensible heat as 32.394.17Wm2 and 35.584.75Wm2, and latent heat flux as 39.146.60Wm2 and 39.494.51Wm2 (as evapotranspiration, 75.69.8103 km3 yr1 and 766.8103 km3 yr1). FLUXCOM products are suitable to quantify global land-atmosphere interactions and benchmark land surface model simulations.
