AfSIS MODIS Collection: Albedo, 2012 Release
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection's Albedo data set contains rasters with the following calculations: time series average, time series standard deviation, and time series variance for white sky and black sky albedo.
Description
These Africa continent-wide calculations use surface reflectance data obtained by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) MODIS MCD43A3 product.
The rasters have a 16-day temporal resolution, a spatial resolution of 500 meters, and are updated annually by AfSIS using data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LPDAAC) Data Pool at lpdaac.usgs.gov. The data are available in Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) from the Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS).
