Summary
Abstract: The MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Albedo product
(MCD43A3) provides 500 meter data describing both directional hemispherical reflectance (black-sky albedo) and bi-hemispherical reflectance (white-sky albedo). These MCD43A3 data are provided every 16 days 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.
