Product Description
MODIS 250 m Surface Reflectance is a two-band product computed from the MODIS
Level 1B land bands 1 and 2 (centered at 648 nm and 858 nm, respectively). The
product is an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance for each band as it
would be measured at ground level if there were no atmospheric scattering or
absorption. A correction scheme reducing the effects of atmospheric gases,
aerosols, and thin cirrus clouds is applied to all pixels passing Level 1B
quality control.
The MODIS/Terra
Surface Reflectance 8-Day L3 Global 250m SIN Grid product, MOD09Q1, is a
composite of the previous 8 daily L2G Surface Reflectance products (MOD09GQK),
which maintain the native 250m resolution in Bands 1 and 2. The best
observations during an 8-day period, as determined by overall pixel quality and
observational coverage, are matched geographically according to corresponding
250m Pointer Files (MODPTQKM). Quality assurance data for the MOD09Q1 product is
provided at three different levels of detail: at the individual pixel level, at
each band and each resolution level, and at the level of the whole file.
NOTE: These products are validated, meaning that product uncertainties are well defined over a range of representative conditions. Although there may be later improved versions, these data are ready for use in scientific publications.
