Instrument:
MODIS

Product Description:
The MODIS Near Real Time (NRT) level-3 Vegetation Indices Daily Rolling-8-Day data MOD13A4N, are provided everyday at 500-meter spatial resolution as a gridded level-3 product in the Sinusoidal projection. Vegetation indices are used for global monitoring of vegetation conditions and are used in products displaying land cover and land cover changes. These data may be used as input for modeling global biogeochemical and hydrologic processes and global and regional climate. These data also may be used for characterizing land surface biophysical properties and processes including primary production and land cover conversion.
