The FFPonline tool

FFPonline allows you to upload a time series of input data. For each time step of the input data, an FFP footprint is calculated. All footprints for the time series are aggregated to a footprint climatology. The tool also derives an unsupervised land cover classification for the footprint area and overlays the footprint climatology with the classification, providing you with a simple estimate of what land cover contributes most to the measured fluxes.

Please register or sign in to use the FFPonline tool. Information on input data requirements and formatting, as well as on the result files can be found here.
