The MCD43A1 V6.1 Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function and Albedo (BRDF/Albedo) Model Parameters dataset is a 500 meter daily 16-day product. The Julian date represents the 9th day of the 16-day retrieval period, and consequently the observations are weighted to estimate the BRDF/Albedo for that day. …
The MCD43A2 V6.1 Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function and Albedo (BRDF/Albedo) Quality dataset is a 500 meter daily 16-day product. It contains all the quality information for the corresponding 16-day MCD43A3 Albedo and the MCD43A4 Nadir-BRDF (NBAR) products. The MCD43A2 contains individual band quality and observation …
The MCD43A3 V6.1 Albedo Model dataset is a daily 16-day product. It provides both directional hemispherical reflectance (black sky albedo) and bihemispherical reflectance (white sky albedo) for each of the MODIS surface reflectance bands (band 1 through band 7) as well as 3 broad spectrum …
The MCD43A4 V6.1 Nadir Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR) product provides 500 meter reflectance data of the MODIS "land" bands 1-7. These are adjusted using a bidirectional reflectance distribution function to model the values as if they were collected from a nadir view. …
The MCD43C3 Version 6.1 Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function and Albedo (BRDF/Albedo) Albedo dataset is produced daily using 16 days of Terra and Aqua MODIS data in a 0.05 degree (5,600 meters at the equator) Climate Modeling Grid (CMG). Data are temporally weighted to the ninth …
The MOD10A1 V6.1 Snow Cover Daily Global 500m product contains snow cover, snow albedo, fractional snow cover, and quality assessment (QA) data. Snow cover data are based on a snow mapping algorithm that employs a Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) and other criteria tests. General …
The MYD10A1 V6 Snow Cover Daily Global 500m product contains snow cover, snow albedo, fractional snow cover, and quality assessment (QA) data. Snow cover data are based on a snow mapping algorithm that employs a Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) and other criteria tests. General …
M2T1NXRAD (or tavg1_2d_rad_Nx) is an hourly time-averaged data collection in Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). This collection consists of radiation diagnostics, such as surface albedo, cloud area fraction, in cloud optical thickness, surface incoming shortwave flux (i.e. solar radiation), surface …
