Last update:March 9, 2015

Data Set Short Name:
MYDFNSS

Data Set Long Name:
MODIS/Aqua Atmosphere FluxNet Subsetting Product

Platform:
Aqua

Instrument:
MODIS

Product Description:
The MYDFNSS data set consists of MODIS Atmosphere and Ancillary Products subsets that are generated over a number of FLUXNET sites. FLUXNET is a network of micrometeorological tower sites spreaded around the globe. The process of generating cutouts for these sites involves locating and identifying a subset of sites taken from a global FLUXNET that are within the spatial coverage of a 5 minute Level 2 MODIS granule and extracting 0.5 x 0.5 degree cutouts. The MYDFNSS data set consists of subsets for around 400 sites out of the total flux tower sites around the globe. There is one file per site with 55 Science Data Sets (SDS).

Production Frequency:
~400 files per day

Spatial Coverage:
Global

Spatial Resolution:
1 km at nadir

File Size (MB):
~2.5
