MODIS/Terra+Aqua BRDF/Albedo Model Parameters Daily L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG
The MODIS Near Real Time (NRT) MCD43C1N, MODIS Combined Aqua and Terra Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function and Albedo (BRDF/Albedo) Model Parameters is a L3 daily 16-day composite global gridded tiled product that provides model parameters/coefficients (isotropic, volume and surface) for characterizing the BRDF of each pixel at 500m resolution in the sinusoidal map projection. BRDF at each pixel for the current day is derived by inverting all available good quality corrected surface reflectance observations acquired by Terra and Aqua MODIS from the 16-day period ending with the current data day. The daily observation are weighed as a function of quality, observation coverage and temporal distance from the current data date. Model parameters are stored as 3D datasets for each of the 7 land bands, visible, near-infrared and shortwave bands along with corresponding mandatory QA flags.

- Quality Overall NRT products match to operational with some expected minor differences from use of different ancillaries and ephemeris. There aren't any data gaps or data artifacts.Information on comparison of Operational and NRT Products is posted at:https://lance3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data_products/comparison.php. Information on comparison of C6 Operational and NRT Atmospheric and Land Products is posted at: https://lance3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data_products/comparison_atmos.php and http://lance3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data_products/comparison_land.php.
