Development of land surface albedo parameterization based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data

Estimation of surface albedo and directional reflectance from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations

Impact of new land boundary conditions from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data on the climatology of land surface variables

[1] This paper uses the Community Land Model (CLM2) to investigate the improvements of a new land surface data set, created from multiple high-quality collection 4 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data of leaf area index (LAI), plant functional type, and vegetation continuous fields, for modeled land surface variables. The previous land surface data in CLM2 underestimate LAI and ov...

Surface bidirectional reflectance and albedo properties derived using a land cover–based approach with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer observations

[1] Surface bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) and albedo maps are derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) multiday surface reflectance composites with a 500-m spatial resolution (MODIS product MOD09A1/MYD09A1). The proposed method dubbed land cover–based fitting employs the processing of clear-sky reflectance data for similar land cover types and ...

Validation of the land-surface temperature products retrieved from Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data

This paper presents the status of land-surface temperature (LST) standard products retrieved from Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. Based on estimates of the channel-dependence error and noise equivalent temperature difference (NEDT) and the calibration accuracy of MODIS thermal–infrared data, the impact of instrument performance on the acc...
