Data Information

  creation_date: Mon Nov 14 11:14:09 PST 2011

  Conventions: Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  source_file: This product is generated from MODIS 16-day CMG product (MCD43C3) in 0.05x0.05 degree

  title: Re-gridded MODIS albedo in 0.5x0.5 degree

  Approach: To obtain albedo in 0.5x0.5 resolution from MODIS MCD43C3 16-day 0.05 degree CMG dataset, I averaged all available data in each grid cell of the 0.5x0.5 resolution from the original 0.05 degree resolution. To obtain the monthly data, the data in the original 16 day temporal resolution were first interpolated to daily data, and then averaged all available data based on the calendar date of each month. Derived Data Code: http://redwood.ess.uci.edu/mingquan/www/ILAMB/Download/CODES/CODES/subroutines/convert/convert-albedo-modis.ncl

  Temporal resolution: monthly

  General information: This product was derived from MODIS MCD43C3 16-day 0.05 degree CMG dataset.

  Spatial resolution: 0.5x0.5 degree
