MODIS Land product distribution
MODIS Land product distribution
• 200km by 200km subsets over all EOS Land Validation Core Sites(http://modis-land.gsfc.nasa.gov/val/coresite_gen.asp)
• 11km by 11km subsets over select FLUXNET sites
• Additional subsets possible (produced and ftp-transferred)
• Global products available through EDG(http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/modis/dataprod.html)

continued communication
continued communication
• One of the results of this meeting should be a method for continued interaction
• Protocol documentation as near-term objective
• Joint proposals / financial support could help future international quantitative efforts

continued communication,
cont.• Interaction with IGOS “TCO” theme• Input from TCO meeting
(Ojima, Plummer, et al.)– Saturation at LAI > 6 is an issue– Seasonality/time-series is critical– LAI is used a model constraint, not imput– Uncertainty estimates could be incorporated
into modeling

CEOS Land Product Validation Core SitesCEOS Land Product
Validation Core Sites
• Potential joint project with CEOS Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) being led by the LPV
• Easy-access web-based access to land products from CEOS members – could include LAI from multiple sensors.
![Page 11: Land Product Validation subgroup activity in support of LAI inter-comparison.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0291a28abf838cd73bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SATELLITE DATA from various CEOS Member sensors, subsetted over the site and WWW accessible.
Ancillary/GIS Layers such as… - elevation - land cover - reference layer (with political boundaries, airports, water bodies)
Scientific Networks such as AERONET and FLUXNET data ILTERs
Field and airborne data WWW accessible

WGCV/WGISS conceptual interaction
WGISS:provide seamless internet-based access to the multiple data sets
WGCV: • site locations and data set requirements, • negotiate subsetting and on-line storage of core site data• some correlative analysis on these data, and • interpretation of possible discrepancies between products
