AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
MCD18 V6.1 datasets, including MCD18A1 and MCD18C2, are discontinued and being replaced by V6.2.
-
MCD18A1 and MCD18C2 provide Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra and Aqua data related to surface radiation and photosynthetically active radiation, respectively.
-
The Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS) Radiation dataset offers daily estimates of radiation, GPP, and evapotranspiration at a 5-km resolution using a coupled atmosphere-canopy model driven by MODIS data.

Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS) Radiation v1
Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS) is a simplified process-based model that couples atmosphere and canopy radiative transfers, canopy photosynthesis, transpiration, and energy balance. It couples an atmospheric radiative transfer model and artificial neural network with forcings from MODIS atmospheric products to generate 5-km daily products. … climate evapotranspiration gpp modis-derived par radiation -
MCD18A1.062 Surface Radiation Daily/3-Hour
The MCD18A1 Version 6.2 is a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra and Aqua combined Downward Shortwave Radiation (DSR) gridded Level 3 product produced daily at 1 kilometer pixel resolution with estimates of DSR every 3 hours. DSR is incident solar radiation over land surfaces … climate par radiation -
MCD18C2.062 Photosynthetically Active Radiation Daily 3-Hour
The MCD18C2 Version 6.2 is a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra and Aqua combined Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) gridded Level 3 product produced daily at 0.05 degree (5,600 meters at the equator) resolution with estimates of PAR every 3 hours. PAR is incident solar … climate par radiation
