Data for Selected Field Sites (n=1147)

Obtain MODIS data for areas centered on selected field sites or flux towers from around the world.

The goal of the MODIS Subsets for Selected Field Sites is to prepare summaries of selected MODIS Land Products for the community to use for validation of models and remote sensing products and to characterize field sites.

Methods

Data products were first subsetted from one or more 1200x1200-km MODIS tiles to 25 x 25-km arrays by the MODIS Science Data Support Team (MODAPS). These products were further subsetted (7x7) and reformatted from their native HDF-EOS to ASCII using version 2.2 of the MODIS Reprojection Tool (MRT) in combination with code developed at the ORNL DAAC.

These ASCII files will expand as new data are acquired (rows will be added for each subsequent MODIS compositing period).
