Product Description
The MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Surface Reflectance products are computed from bands 1-7 to provide an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance for each band as it would be measured at ground level in the absence of atmospheric scattering or absorption. A correction scheme identifies atmospheric gases, aerosols, and thin cirrus clouds.
The MODIS/Terra Surface Reflectance Daily L2G Global 500m SIN Grid product, MOD09GHK, contains data for each of the seven land bands, two at 250m resolution (bands 1-2), and five at 500m resolution (bands 3-7). The best observations during a 24-hour period, as determined by overall pixel quality and observational coverage, are matched geographically according to corresponding 500m Pointer Files (MODPTHKM). Quality information for the MOD09GHK product is provided at three different levels of detail: for individual pixels, for each band and each resolution, and for the whole file.
The MOD09GHK image shown combines bands 1 (red), 4 (green) and 3 (blue) to display the western United States. A land/sea mask has been used to remove deep ocean water, which appears black in the image. Level-2G surface reflectance data are input for the generation of several land products: 8-day Surface Reflectance, Vegetation Indices (VIs), Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF), thermal anomaly, snow/ice, and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation/Leaf Area Index (FPAR/LAI).
NOTE: These products are validated, meaning that product uncertainties are well defined over a range of representa tive conditions. Although there may be later improved versions, these data are ready for use in scientific publications still experimental in nature upon their initial release. Investigations are underway to assess the scientific validity of these products
