Data Set Short Name:
MYD09CMG

Data Set Long Name:
MODIS/Aqua Surface Reflectance Daily L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG

Platform:
Aqua

Instrument:
MODIS

Product Description:
The MODIS Surface Reflectance (MYD09CMG) provides Bands 1-7 in a daily level-3 product gridded on a simple 0.05 degree (5,600-meter) Geographic projection. Data for each pixel is selected on the basis of low solar zenith angle, minimum Band 3 (blue) reflectance, and absence of cloud from level-3 intermediate files. Science Data Sets provided for this product include reflectance values for Bands 1-7, brightness temperatures for Bands 20, 21, 31, and 32, solar and view zenith angles, relative azimuth angle, ozone, granule time, and quality assessment.

Production Frequency:
1 file per day

Spatial Coverage:
Global

Spatial Resolution:
5600m

File Size (MB):
~515
