SAFARI 2000 MODIS L3 Albedo and Land Cover Data, Southern Africa, Dry Season 2000

The Filled Land Surface Albedo Product for Southern Africa, which is generated from MOD43B3 Product (the official Terra/MODIS-derived Land Surface Albedo - http://geography.bu.edu/brdf/userguide/albedo.html ), is a subset of the global data set of spatially complete albedo maps computed for both white-sky and black-sky at 10 wavelengths (0.47mm, 0.55mm, 0.67mm, 0.86mm, 1.24mm, 1.64mm, 2.1mm, and broadband 0.3-0.7mm, 0.3-5.0mm, and 0.7-5.0mm). An exception is that no 2.1mm data for black-sky is being archived at this time. The data spatial extent is from approximately 5 degrees N to -30 degrees S latitude and 5 minutes E to 60 degrees E longitude and covers 7 sixteen day periods starting on July 11 through October 15, 2000.Map Products, containing spatially complete land surface albedo data, are generated at 1-minute resolution on an equal-angle grid. The maps are stored in separate HDF files for each wavelength, each 16-day period and each albedo type (white- and black-sky). Data belonging to black sky and white sky albedo have been zipped separately. This format allows the user to have flexibility to download and store only the data absolutely needed.The One-Minute Land Ecosystem Classification Product is a global (static map) data set of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) classification scheme stored on an equal-angle rectangular grid at 1-minute resolution. The dataset is generated from the official MODIS land ecosystem classification dataset, MOD12Q1 for year 2000, day 289 data (October 15, 2000). This dataset is used in generating the spatially complete albedo maps, but is also a stand-alone product designed for use by the user community. The Land Ecosystem Classification Map File product file is stored in Hierarchical Data Format (HDF).

南非填充地表反照率产品，源自MOD43B3产品（官方Terra/MODIS衍生的地表反照率 - http://geography.bu.edu/brdf/userguide/albedo.html），是全球地表反照率地图的子集，该地图在10个波长（0.47微米、0.55微米、0.67微米、0.86微米、1.24微米、1.64微米、2.1微米以及宽带0.3-0.7微米、0.3-5.0微米和0.7-5.0微米）下，分别针对晴空和阴天进行了计算。特例在于，目前尚未存档2.1微米的阴天数据。数据的空间范围为约北纬5度至南纬-30度，东经5分钟至东经60度，覆盖了从2000年7月11日至10月15日的7个十六天周期。包含完整地表反照率数据的地图产品以1分钟分辨率，在等角网格上生成。这些地图存储在各自波长的独立HDF文件中，每个16天周期和每种反照率类型（晴空和阴天）。属于晴空和阴天反照率的数据已分别进行压缩。此格式使用户能够灵活地下载和存储所需的数据。一分钟土地生态系统分类产品是全球（静态地图）数据集，基于国际地圈-生物圈计划（IGBP）分类方案，以1分钟分辨率存储在等角矩形网格上。该数据集由官方MODIS土地生态系统分类数据集MOD12Q1的2000年289日数据（2000年10月15日）生成。该数据集不仅用于生成完整地表反照率地图，而且是一个独立的产品，专为用户社区设计使用。土地生态系统分类地图文件产品存储在层次数据格式（HDF）中。
