Description

The MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) complements NOAA's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) NDVI products and provides continuity for time series historical applications. MODIS also includes a new Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) that minimizes canopy background variations and maintains sensitivity over dense vegetation conditions. The EVI also uses the blue band to remove residual atmosphere contamination caused by smoke and sub-pixel thin cloud clouds. The MODIS NDVI and EVI products are computed from atmospherically corrected bi-directional surface reflectances that have been masked for water, clouds, heavy aerosols, and cloud shadows.

MOD13AQ1 is comprised of the following layers:

  • NDVI: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Scale 0.0001
  • EVI: Enhanced Vegetation Index, Scale 0.0001
  • DetailedQA: VI Quality, see MOD13Q1 VI Quality
  • sur_refl_b01: Red surface reflectance, scale 0.0001
  • sur_refl_b02: NIR surface reflectance, scale 0.0001
  • sur_refl_b03: Blue surface reflectance, scale 0.0001
  • sur_refl_b07: MIR surface reflectance, scale 0.0001
  • ViewZenith: View zenith angle, scale 0.01
  • SolarZenith: Solar zenith angle, scale 0.01
  • RelativeAzimuth: Relative azimuth angle, scale 0.1
  • DayOfYear: Julian day of year
  • SummaryQA: Pixel reliability summary QA
    • -1 Fill/No data: Not processed
    • 0 Good data: Use with confidence
    • 1 Marginal data: Useful but look at detailed QA for more information
    • 2 Snow/ice: Pixel covered with snow/ice
    • 3: Cloudy: Pixel is cloudy

MOD13Q1 IV Quality
