Daily MODIS V006 BRDF, Albedo, NBARStatus and Updates Zhuosen Wang, Crystal Schaaf, Qingsong Sun, Yan Liu, Alan Strahler University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston University, NASA/GSFC And the large contingent of colleagues who have contributed to the development and validation of MCD43
Daily MODIS V006 BRDF, Albedo, NBARStatus and Updates • MCD43A • Albedo (ECV), NBAR (phenology, landcover, biomass, clear-sky), BRDF (anisotropy, structure, clumping) etc.
Daily MODIS V006 BRDF, Albedo, NBAR • DAILY MCD43A • Was originally proposed as a daily product • Retrieved each day utilizing all high-quality, multi-date, multi-angle, cloud-free surface reflectances from a rolling 16-day period • Day of interest is center date • Fit semi-empirical Ross Thick Lis Sparce Reciprocal BRDF Model • Number of angularly well distributed obs (RMSE, WoD) • Weighted by quality, obscov, vicinity to day of interest • Produced in 10˚ tiles on a 500m sinusoidal grid
Daily MODIS V006 BRDF, Albedo, NBAR • DAILY MCD43A • Extensive Quality flags • Byte, not bit packed (mostly - dates used) • Snow albedo retrieval (utilizing MO/YD10) • Conservative high quality full inversion retrievals • Poor quality back up magnitude inversion algorithm uses more recent high quality retrieval as a priori BRDF shape • USE the QA!!
Daily MODIS V006 BRDF, Albedo, NBAR • Daily CMG BRDF, Albedo, NBAR (MCD43D) • 30arc-second global • Separate full retrieval • Uncertainty measures • MCD43C (0.05 degree CMG) is average of underlying parameters • Quality based on majority of underlying qualities • MCD43_GF 30arc-second snow-free, gap-filled global CMG • V005 version is available

Extensive Validation • CEOS/WGCV/Land Product Validation • BSRN (gold standard of tower albedo measurements) • Ameriflux, Surfrad, NEON, ARM, Fluxnet etc. • Spatial representativeness of sites (Román et al., 2009) • Multi-angle Airborne measurement (CAR, GLiHT etc) • Lidar Measurements of Structure (DWEL, CBL, Airborne)
Validate MODIS/Landsat albedo using CAR In general, the satellite derived estimates meet the accuracy requirements established for the high-quality MODIS operational albedos at 500 m (the greater of 0.02 units or ±10% of surface measured values).
