Summary
Abstract: The MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Reflectance product
MCD43A4 provides 500-meter reflectance data adjusted using a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) to model the values as if taken from nadir view. These MCD43A4 data are 16-day composites provided as a level-3 gridded product in the Sinusoidal projection.

Both Terra and Aqua data are used in the generation of this product, providing the highest probability for quality input data.
