MODIS bidirectional reflectance distribution function and albedo Climate Modeling Grid products and the variability of albedo for major global vegetation types
Open accessAbstract
Global land surface albedo data sets derived from the Terra Moderate‐Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from March 2000 to present have been completed for ready use by the global modeling community. This paper describes these albedo and bidirectional reflectance distribution function Climate Modeling Grid products and their variability within major global vegetation types. Preliminary results based on collection 4 data reveal that these coarse resolution (0.05°), geographic (latitude/longitude), global albedos have spatial and temporal patterns appropriate for the underlying land cover classes, further encouraging modelers to introduce albedos as functions of ground cover, geographic location, temporal season, and spatial resolution in the various climate‐modeling schemes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
