Summary
Abstract: This product has been decommissioned.

The 16-day 5-km global albedo product (MOD43C1) is a level-3 Climate Modeling
Grid that provides a measurement of the Earth's white-sky and black-sky albedo. These measurements are derived averages computed from the 16-day 1-km global albedo product. The 1-km global albedo is computed by integrating the Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function ... View entire text
