match MODIS LAI/FPAR to ERA data

Downloads and smooths MODIS LAI/FPAR values for merging into the final LSM model data. Smoothing interpolates values to a daily time step which is then assigned to half-hourly data on a day-by-day basis (i.e. remote sensing data remains static from day-to-day but changes daily across the season).

fdk_match_modis(df, path, nc_file)

Arguments

df

data frame with site info

path

path where to store the MODIS data

nc_file

netcdf file containing the LSM processed flux data

Value

smoothed time series of LAI/FPAR integrated in the meteorological (ERA) data

Here the code deviates from the standard PLUMBER-2 workflow and provides a more parsimonious solution.
