Description
The MCD43A4 data product provides 500 meter reflectance data of the MODIS "land" bands 1-7 adjusted using a bidirectional reflectance distribution function to model the values as if they were collected from a nadir view. The data are produced daily, but each image contains 16 days of data, with the image's date occurring on the 9th day of the 16-day period. This product combines data from both the Terra and Aqua spacecraft, choosing the best representative pixel from the 16-day period. The original data are provided in sinusoidal projection.
Version 6 MODIS/Terra+Aqua BRDF/Albedo products have achieved stage 3 validation.
