The MODIS Near Real Time (NRT) product, MOD09A1N provides Bands 1-7 at 500-meter resolution in a daily rolling 8-day gridded level-3 product in the Sinusoidal projection. Each MOD09A1N pixel contains the best possible L2G observation during an 8-day period as selected on the basis of high observation coverage, low view angle, the absence of clouds or cloud shadow, and aerosol loading. Science Data Sets provided for this product include reflectance values for Bands 1-7, quality assessment, and the day of the year for the pixel along with solar, view, and zenith angles.
