MYD09A1.005 Surface Reflectance 8-Day L3 Global 500m [deprecated]

  • This dataset, MYD09A1, is superseded by MODIS/061/MYD09A1 and provides an estimate of surface spectral reflectance corrected for atmospheric effects.

  • The MYD09A1 product is an 8-day gridded level-3 product with 500-meter resolution containing the best possible L2G observation for that period.

  • Data are available from 2002-07-04 to 2017-03-22 and have no restrictions on subsequent use, sale, or 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, yielding a level-2 basis for several higher-order gridded level-2 (L2G) and level-3 products.

MYD09A1 provides Bands 1-7 at 500-meter resolution in an 8-day gridded level-3 product in the Sinusoidal projection. Each MYD09A1 pixel contains the best possible L2G observation during an 8-day period as selected on the basis of high observation coverage, low view angle, the absence of clouds or cloud shadow, and aerosol loading. Science Data Sets provided for this product include reflectance values for Bands 1-7, quality assessment, and the day of the year for the pixel along with solar, view, and zenith angles.
