  1. MODIS Reflectance Anisotropy and Albedo (Collection V005) Crystal Schaaf, Alan Strahler, Jicheng Liu Department of Geography and Environment, Center for Remote Sensing, Boston University

  2. MODIS: System Characteristics EOS-Terra Platform • Sun-synchronous, near-polar, 705.3 km, 98.21° inclination • 10:30 AM local solar equatorial crossing time (descending node • Launched December 18, 1999 EOS-Aqua Platform • Sun-synchronous, near-polar, 705.3km, 98.21° inclination • 1:30 PM local solar equatorial crossing time (ascending node) • Launched May 4, 2002

  3. MODIS Surface Reflectance (MOD09) • The MODIS surface reflectance product is an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance for each band as it would have been measured at ground level if there were no atmospheric scattering and absorption. • Bands (in nm): • 1620-670 • 2 841-876 • 3459-479 • 545-565 • 1230-1250 Daily Browse • 6 1628-1652 Mostly Cloudy! • 7 2105-2155 • Home page: http://modis-sr.ltdri.org/html/surfref.htm 3

  4. MODIS Anisotropy and Albedo • Inputs • Cloud-free, atmospherically-corrected, spectral surface reflectances from Aqua and Terra (MOD09/MYD09 BRFs) to sample the surface anisotropy over a 16 day period • Output • High quality full inversions provide well-sampled, best-fit anisotropy models of global land surfaces • Ross Thick Li Sparse Reciprocal semi-empirical model captures volumetric and geometric-optical scattering • Lower quality back-up algorithm performs magnitude inversions by coupling available reflectances with an a priori BRDF database

  5. MODIS Anisotropy and Albedo

  6. Semi-Empirical BRDF Model Rλ(θi, Φi; θr, Φr) = fiso + fvolkvol + fgeokgeo (Roujean et al., 1992) Volumetric Geometric Isotropic kvol,kgeoare kernels of view and illumination geometry fiso, fvol, fgeo are spectrally dependent weights

  7. Kernel Models • Kernel model derivation • To derive a kernel model, we simplify and manipulate a complete physical model until it reaches the form • where k is a function only of view and illumination geometry (and fixed physical parameters) • c1 and c2 are constants containing variable physical parameters

  8. MODIS Anisotropy and Albedo Products • BRDF Model parameters • RossThickLiSparseR model parameters • Use parameters directly in simple polynomial to estimate albedo or reflectance quantities • BRDF shape factors capture some measure of structure • Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR) • View angle corrected surface reflectances • Operational MODIS land cover classification and phenology • Albedo quantities • Bihemispherical reflectance under isotropic illumination (BHRiso) • White-sky albedo (wholly diffuse) • Directional-hemispherical reflectance (DHR) at local solar noon • Black-sky albedo (direct) • Intrinsic albedos can be combined as a function of diffuse skylight (optical depth) to obtain instantaneous actual albedos

  9. MODIS Anisotropy and Albedo Product • Product Output • Spectral (Collections 004 and 005) • 7 shortwave bands and three broad bands • Spatial • Sinusoidal 10deg2 tiles • 500m (005) • 1km (004, 005) • Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) • 0.05deg in global lat/lon (004, 005) • 30arcsec in global lat/lon (005) • Temporal • Every 16 days (004) • Every 8 days based on the last 16 days (005)
