MYDOCGA.006 Aqua Ocean Reflectance Daily Global 1km

  • The MYDOCGA V6 product provides 1 kilometer reflectance data from Aqua MODIS bands 8-16, primarily used for ocean products but delivered as land tiles.

  • This dataset is available daily from July 4, 2002, to February 25, 2023, and is provided by NASA LP DAAC at the USGS EROS Center.

  • The dataset includes several bands measuring surface reflectance at various wavelengths, along with quality control and observation count information.

  • MODIS data and products from LP DAAC have no restrictions on subsequent use, sale, or redistribution.

Description

The MYDOCGA V6 ocean reflectance product consists of 1 kilometer reflectance data from Aqua MODIS bands 8-16. The product is referred to as ocean reflectance, because bands 8-16 are used primarily to produce ocean products, but this is not an ocean product as the tiles produced are land tiles.
