The diurnal solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) sampling capability of OCO-3 can provide crucial insights into ecosystem function at the sub-daily scale. However, potential applications of OCO-3 SIF have suffered from its inherent spatiotemporal discontinuity. In this study, we addressed the discontinuous observation coverage of OCO-3 SIF by utilizing information coming from the continuous geostationary satellite observations from Geostationary Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2A (GK-2A). We generated and comprehensively evaluated a continental-scale hourly reconstructed SIF over the Eastern Asia and Oceania. To do this, we trained an extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model using OCO-3 SIF and GK-2A observations including four band Nadir BRDF Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR) (blue, green, red, and near-infrared), shortwave radiation, and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) using the data from August …
