MOD09GQ.006 Terra Surface Reflectance Daily Global 250m [deprecated]

  • This MODIS dataset (MOD09GQ Version 6) provides daily surface reflectance data at 250m resolution, but has been superseded by a newer version (MODIS/061/MOD09GQ).

  • It includes bands 1 and 2, along with quality control and observation layers, and should be used with MOD09GA for quality and geometry information.

  • The data is corrected for atmospheric effects and offers an estimate of surface reflectance as measured at ground level.

  • Coverage spans from February 24, 2000, to February 17, 2023, with global extent.

  • NASA's LP DAAC provides the data, which is freely available for use, sale, and redistribution.

Description

The MODIS Surface Reflectance products provide an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance as it would be measured at ground level in the absence of atmospheric scattering or absorption. Low-level data are corrected for atmospheric gases and aerosols. MOD09GQ version 6 provides bands 1 and 2 at a 250m resolution in a daily gridded L2G product in the Sinusoidal projection, including a QC and five observation layers. This product is meant to be used in conjunction with the MOD09GA where important quality and viewing geometry information is stored.
