MODIS-derived Aggregate, Woody and Herbaceous Leaf Area Index for Africa, 2002-2022

This dataset provides leaf area index (LAI) estimates for Sub-Saharan Africa for woody, herbaceous, and aggregate vegetation types. The estimates were derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Level 4 and the native MODIS LAI product (MCD15A2H Version 6.1), which provides LAI measurements every 8 days at 500-m pixel size. Data from the MCD15A2H product were processed further to generate three layers including: a smoothed and gap filled LAI layer referred to as aggregate leaf area index and two additional layers processed to separate woody LAI (tree and shrubs) and herbaceous LAI (grass and forbs). The data include 31 MODIS 10-degree tiles and cover 2002 to 2022. The data are provided in NetCDF format.

MODIS/Aqua Aerosol 10km 5-Min L2 Narrow Swath Subset along CloudSat V002 (MAC04S0) at GES DISC

This is the narrow-swath MODIS/Aqua subset along CloudSat field of view track. The goal of the narrow-swath subset is to select and return MODIS data that are within +-5 km across the CloudSat track. I.e. the resultant MODIS subset swath is sought to be about 10 km cross-track.However, the original MYD04_L2 has 10-km pixels. Thus, MAC04S0 cross-track width is 2 pixels, the closest on either side of CloudSat track, and the resultant cross-track swath width is about 20 km.Along-track, all MODIS pixels from the original product are preserved. In the stardard product, the MODIS level-2 atmospheric aerosol product provides retrieved ambient aerosol optical properties (e.g., optical thickness and size distribution), mass concentration, look-up table derived reflected and transmitted fluxes, as well as quality assurance and other ancillary parameters, globally over ocean and near globally over land. (The shortname for this product is MAC04S0).

MODIS Terra Level 3 SST Thermal IR Monthly 4km Daytime V2019.0

Day and night spatially gridded global NASA skin sea surface temperature (SST) products from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra satellite. Average daily, weekly (8 day), monthly and annual skin SST products are available at both 4.63 and 9.26 km spatial resolution. Terra was launched by NASA on December 18, 1999, into a sun synchronous, polar orbit with a daylight descending node at 10:30 am, to study the global dynamics of the Earth atmosphere, land and oceans. The MODIS captures data in 36 spectral bands at a variety of spatial resolutions. Two SST products can be present in these files. The first is a skin SST produced for both day and night observations, derived from the long wave IR 11 and 12 micron wavelength channels, using a modified nonlinear SST algorithm intended to provide continuity with SST derived from heritage and current NASA sensors. At night, a second SST product is produced using the mid-infrared 3.95 and 4.05 micron channels which are unique to MODIS; the SST derived from these measurements is identified as SST4. The SST4 product has lower uncertainty, but due to sun glint can only be produced at night. To generate the L3 products the L2 pixels are binned into an integerized sinusoidal area grid (ISEAG) and mapped into an equidistant cylindrical (also known as Platte Carre) projection. Additional projection detailed can be found at https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/format/ The NASA MODIS L3 SST data products are generated by the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) Peter Minnett and his team at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) are responsible for sea surface temperature algorithm development, error statistics and quality flagging. JPL acquires and distributes MODIS ocean L3 SST data from the OBPG as the official Physical Oceanography Data Archive (PO.DAAC) for SST. The R2019 superseded the previous v2014.1 datasets which can be found at https://doi.org/10.5067/MODST-MO4D4

MODIS/Aqua 8-Day Clear Sky Radiance Bias Daily L3 Global 1Deg Zonal Bands

The MODIS/Aqua 8-Day Clear Sky Radiance Bias Daily L3 Global 1Deg Zonal Bands (MYDCSR_B) product consists of 1-degree zonal mean clear-sky biases (observed minus calculated radiance differences) and associated statistics for bands 31 and 33-36 for each day from the previous eight-day period. Zonal means (5-zone moving averages) are created from the eight-day, 25-km radiance differences for daytime land, nighttime land, and ocean data separately. Day and night land data are combined south of -60 degrees latitude due to poor clear-sky sampling and the difficulty of discriminating between clear and cloudy conditions in this region. The zonal mean biases are utilized to correct clear-sky radiance calculations in the cloud top pressure (CO2 slicing) algorithm. The files are in Hierarchical Data Format (HDF).

MISR TASC dataset V002

MIANTASC_002 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Terrestrial Atmosphere and Surface Climatology (TASC) dataset version 2. It is produced by the MISR Science Computing Facility (SCF) and shipped to the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) for generating MISR Level 2 products and consists of one HDF file and data set per month in HDF-EOS Grid format with a resolution of 1.0 x 1.0 degrees. The MISR instrument consists of nine push-broom cameras that measure radiance in four spectral bands. Global coverage is achieved in nine days. The cameras are arranged with one camera pointing toward the nadir, four forward, and four aftward. It takes seven minutes for all nine cameras to view the same surface location. The view angles relative to the surface reference ellipsoid are 0, 26.1, 45.6, 60.0, and 70.5 degrees. The spectral band shapes are nominally Gaussian, centered at 443, 555, 670, and 865 nm.

MODIS/Aqua Cloud Mask 5-Min Swath 1000 m

The MODIS-VIIRS Cloud Mask (MVCM) is designed to facilitate continuity in cloud detection between the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on the Aqua and Terra platforms and the series of VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) instruments, beginning with the Suomi NPP spacecraft. To establish continuity, this MODIS MVCM product does not use an algorithm identical to that used in the standard MODIS product (MOD35/MYD35). The MVCM-MODIS Cloud Mask product is Aqua MOIDS Level-2, 5-Min Swath product generated at 1000 m (at nadir) spatial resolution. The algorithm employs a series of visible through infrared threshold and consistency tests to specify confidence that an unobstructed view of the Earth's surface has been observed. Radiometrically-accurate radiances are required, thus holes in the cloud mask will appear wherever the input radiances are incomplete or of poor quality.
