Description

The MODIS Surface Reflectance products provide an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance as it would be measured at ground level in the absence of atmospheric scattering or absorption. Low-level data are corrected for atmospheric gases and aerosols. MYD09GA version 6.1 provides bands 1-7 in a daily gridded L2G product in the sinusoidal projection, including 500m reflectance values and 1km observation and geolocation statistics.
