#### Description

This gap-filled Tasseled Cap Brightness (TCB) dataset was created by
applying the tasseled-cap equations defined in Lobser and Cohen (2007) to
MODIS BRDF-corrected imagery (MCD43B4). The resulting data were gap-filled
using the approach outlined in Weiss et al. (2014) to eliminate missing
data caused by factors such as cloud cover. After gap-filling the data was clipped to thresholds of \[-1, 2\] to ensure valid values.

The gap-filled 8-daily \~1km outputs are then aggregated temporally to produce monthly and annual products.
