Summary
Abstract: This product is decommissioned.

The 16-day, 0.05 degree global BRDF/Albedo parameter product (MOD43C2) is a level-3 Climate Modeling Grid delivering the model parameters used to create the MODIS Global Albedo product (MOD43C1). The MOD43C2 product is produced on a flat latitude/longitude grid in HDF-EOS format. Three BRDF model parameter values are given for each of 10 wavelength bands (7 MODIS ... View entire text
