Long-term MODIS LST day-time and night-time temperatures, sd and differences at 1 km based on the 2000–2020 time series
<p>Layers include: Land Surface Temperature daytime monthly median value 2000–2017, Land Surface Temperature daytime monthly sd value 2000–2017, Land Surface Temperature daytime monthly day-night difference 2000–2017. Derived using the <a href="https://gitlab.com/openlandmap/global-layers/-/tree/master/input_layers/MOD11A2">data.table package and quantile function in R</a>. We derived four standard statistics: (1) lower 2.5% probability (l.025), median (m), upper 97.5% probability (u.975) and standard deviation (sd). Updated long-term values for 2000–2022+ are pending.</p> <p>Includes also long-term trends (trend.logit.ols) which was produced by fitting regression models to de-seasonalized time-series as explained in this <strong><a href="https://gitlab.com/openlandmap/global-layers/-/blob/master/input_layers/MOD13Q1/03-data-access.ipynb">python tutorial</a></strong>. Basically models are fitted for <strong>each pixel</strong> and the model parameters are saved as images.</p> <p>For more info about the MODIS LST product see: <a href="https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mod11a2v006/"><strong>https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mod11a2v006/</strong></a>.

MOD-LSP: MODIS-Based Parameters for Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) Model over the Continental US, Mexico, and Southern Canada
<p>The MOD-LSP project contains MODIS-based land and surface (soil and vegetation) parameters for the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model (Liang et al., 1994), release 5.0 and later (Hamman et al., 2018). The MOD-LSP spatial domain covers the continental United States, Mexico, and southern Canada; the associated domain files can be found in the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/2564019">PITRI archive</a> (Bohn et al. 2018). This spatial domain and 0.625° (6 km) grid resolution are compatible with the gridded daily meteorological forcings of Livneh et al. (2015) ("L2015" hereafter) (http://ciresgroups.colorado.edu/livneh/data/daily-observational-hydrometeorology-data-set-north-american-extent), which can be disaggregated to hourly time step via the MetSim tool (Bennett et al. 2018) using the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/2564019">aforementioned PITRI domain files</a> (Bohn et al. 2018).</p> <p>These parameters have two main purposes: (1) to improve upon previous widely-used parameters over the region (e.g., L2015) with updated, higher-resolution land cover maps and spatially explicit observations of surface properties; and (2) to expand from a single parameter set corresponding to one point in time to a series of parameter sets that account for temporal variability at seasonal to decadal scales.</p> <p>A detailed description of methods, the data sources and purposes of different VIC parameter sets within MOD-LSP, and how to use them with VIC, can be found in the MOD-LSP User Guide.pdf, included here. The scripts that were used to create the MOD-LSP parameters are archived on <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/3364149">Zenodo and GitHub</a> (Bohn 2019).</p> <p>If you wish to present or publish results that use these parameter sets, please cite the following paper:</p> <p>Bohn, T. J., and E. R. Vivoni, 2019b: MOD-LSP, MODIS-based land surface properties for assessing land cover variability and change over North America. Sci.

Global monthly percentage of vegetation cover (MODIS FCover MODV1A product: America, Pacific)
<p>Monthly Global FCover product generated from MODIS data. Dataset represent monthly gap-filled FCover estimates the period 2000-2015 over Pacific and America. FCover was estimated using linear spectral mixture analysis and interpolated using empirical orthogonal functions algorithm to take advantage of all non-missing available pixels in both the spatial and temporal dimensions to gap-fill missing satellite observations. The global product of vegetation cover (as percentage of cover) based on MODIS images with monthly variation can be used as a critical support for several indicators related to ecologically based modelling.</p>

Live Fuel Moisture Content Mapping in the Mediterranean Basin Using Random Forests and Combining MODIS Spectral and Thermal Data
<p>Live fuel moisture content (LFMC), defined as the mass of water in the foliage and small twigs relative to its total dry mass, is a key factor affecting fire potential and determining wildfire danger and activity. Fuel moisture is directly related to the amount of energy needed to evaporate water before ignition. Consequently, high moisture values reduce, or even inhibit, ignitability and subsequent fire spread.</p> <p>To cover the absence of a specific model to estimate LFMC for the Mediterranean Basin at the sub-continental scale, we built an empirical model based on Random Forests (LFMC<sub>RF</sub>) and combining MODIS spectral bands, vegetation indices, land surface temperature, and the day of year as predictors. The details on the modeling and validation methods, and the accuracy of the estimates are in the related publication <strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14133162">Cunill Camprubí et al., 2022</a></strong>.</p> <p>This dataset contains a collection of weekly LFMC maps from February 2000 to December 2021. The maps cover the Mediterranean and part of the Temperate biomes of the Mediterranean Basin.

<h4>Overview:</h4> <p>This is a set of images produced by Temporal Fourier Analysis (TFA) of MODIS data:</p> <p>NDVI: Normalised Difference Vegetation Index</p> <p>EVI: Enhanced Vegetation Index</p> <p>MIR: Middle Infra-Red</p> <p>DLST: Day-time Land Surface Temperature</p> <p>NLST: Night-time Land Surface Temperature</p> <p>The imagery summarises some key environmental indicators, incorporating seasonal dynamics, for The European and North African extent.<br>This series of version 6 MODIS data, processed according to Scharlemann et al (2008), has been updated to include imagery from 2001 to 2021. </p> <h4>Process:</h4> <p>Image values were extracted from MODIS imagery form 2001 to 2021. The day and night land temperature came from the 8 day MOD11A2 data whilst the vegetation indices and Middle Infra Red values were extracted from the MOD13A2 16 day datasets. Each parameter extract dataset was then processed by a temporal Fourier processing algorithm. A stepwise system of thresholds and interpolations screened erroneous values and bridged gaps in the time series. The smoothed series was sampled at 5-day intervals and transformed into a set of sine curves describing annual, bi-annual, and tri-annual fluctuations. For each of these curves, the Fourier algorithm generated images expressing the amplitude, phase, and variance. Other output recorded the mean, minimum, and maximum of the time series, and error measured during the Fourier transform. For a detailed description of the Fourier algorithm and its output, please see the article by Scharlemann et al., 2008 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0001408">https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0001408</a>)<br>Sea pixels were masked with a MODIS land/sea layer and the images were projected from sinusoidal to geographic.

2006_2009_MODIS_Phenology
<p>This dataset supercedes the previousl MODIS Phenology datasets based on MODIS V4 data lebelled 'Green up' and 'senescence'.</p> <p>A number of coverages have been processed and extracted from the global MODIS Land Cover Dynamics datasets derived by Boston University (http://www.bu.edu/lcsc/research/land-cover-dynamics) from the NASA MOD12Q2 MODIS tiled phenology layers (https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/modis_products_table/mcd12q2). A detailed user guide (http://www.bu.edu/lcsc/files/2012/08/MCD12Q2_UserGuide.pdf, and http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/atbd/atbd_mod12.pdf) has been released by the Boston University team which provides detailed technical specifications and describes the methods used to calculate the layer values.</p> <p>In summary, these datasets for version 5 were produced twice a year (January and June) between 2001 and early 2010. For each date, a series of parameters were calculated of which five are provided here for 2006 to 2010: Green Up and Senescence , which represent the dates when new green vegetation started be detected at the beginning of a growth cycle, and when the fall in greenness stopped at the end of the cycle.</p> <p>Because some areas have more than once cycle a year, two images are produced for each date: Cycle 1 and Cycle2 . Thus, the Cycle 1 green up image for January 2006 contains the date (expressed as days from January 1 2000) of the green up event for the first cycle occurring between the end of June 2005 and the beginning of July 2006, whilst the Cycle 2 image contains the date for the green up event of the second cycle occurring in that period.</p> <p>This can be confusing, for a detailed explanation with examples please refer to the document included within this download "MODIS PHENOLOGY DATA DESCRIPTION_v2.doc".</p>
Burned Area Maps based on MODIS Surface Reflectance
<p>Burned area (BA) was classified using in-house algorithms, described in detail by Woźniak and Aleksandrowicz (2019). This method utilizes images acquired before and after fire events. All MODIS surface reflectance products MOD09A1 (tiles 24_03 and 25_03) for the period 2002 – 2021 were investigated. Since the study area is obscured by clouds or covered with snow for most of the year, only images from the time window that maximized the number of available frames across most years were selected. Hence, only images acquired between the 145th and 241st day of each year (corresponding to the spring-summer period) were retained for further processing. </p>

Processing of MODIS-Aqua data with Self-Organizing Maps NeuroVaria method for the southern canary upwelling system
<p>Abstract</p> <p>This ocean color dataset is derived from MODIS_Aqua sensor measurements covering the Southern Canary upwelling system. The raw L1A measurements were downloaded from NASA's Ocean Color web site and then processed using the Ocean Biology Processing Group's (OBPG) Multi-Sensor Level-1 to Level-2 (MSL12) code. The l2gen program, based on its standard process, generates Level-2 parameters consisting of the top of atmosphere radiance, the radiance of each ocean and atmosphere component, the measurement angles, Level-2 flags, ... The top of atmosphere radiance is pre-corrected to keep only a dependence on the diffuse transmittance, the aerosol contribution and the water leaving radiance.</p> <p><br> The pre-corrected product and measurement angles are assimilated using the Self-Organizing Map<br> NeuroVaria (SOM-NV) code (Diouf et al., 2013). SOM-NV is an algorithm based on two statistical models<br> that classify a dataset into a map, and then use the information from that map to deliver atmospheric and oceanic parameters from the satellite observation.</p> <p>The parameters of interest are the remote sensing reflectance spectra (Rrs(λ)) and the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 869 nm (aot_869). The Rrs at blue (443 and 488 nm) and green (547 nm) are used to calculate chlorophyll-a concentration from the OBPG OCx algorithm (chl_ocx, O'Reilly et al., 1998; Mobley et al., 2016).</p> <p>These geophysical parameters are projected onto a fixed grid at 1/96° resolution and archived in a daily netcdf format files. Each file contains five visible reflectances Rrs(λ) (with λ = 412, 443, 488, 531, and 547 nm), chl_ocx, aot_869, and latitude and longitude coordinates. These parameters are described in the files, along with the global attributes.</p> <p><br> The netcdf files are formatted as follows: SOM-NV-Ayyyydddhhmmss.nc; where yyyy = year; ddd = Julian<br> day; hh = hour; mm = minute; ss = second. The extension "Ayyyydddhhmmss.nc", corresponds to the name<br> of the MODIS_aqua file of the day. When two input files exist for the same day, within 5 minutes, the two<br> scans are concatenated and the orbit keeps the name of the second file.<br> All files are compressed internally to a size of 4, to facilitate transfers.</p> <p>%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%</p> <p>Résumé</p> <p>Ce jeu de données de couleur de l’eau est issu des mesures du capteur MODIS_Aqua sur la partie sud du système d’upwelling des Canaries. Les mesures brutes L1A ont été téléchargées du site Ocean Color de la NASA, puis traitées à l’aide du code de traitement « Multi-Sensor Level-1 to Level-2 (MSL12) » du groupe Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG). La version standard du programme l2gen génère les paramètres de niveau 2 constitués de la luminance totale mesurée, de la luminance de chaque composante du système océan-atmosphère, des angles de mesures, des masques de niveau 2, …. La luminance totale est pré-corrigée pour ne garder qu’une dépendance à la transmittance diffuse, à la contribution des aérosols et à la luminance marine.<br> <br> Le produit pré-corrigé et les angles de mesure sont assimilés à l’aide du code Self-Organizing Map NeuroVaria (SOM-NV) de Diouf et al. (2013). SOM-NV est un algorithme basé sur deux modèles statistiques qui permettent de classer un ensemble de données sur une carte, puis d’utiliser les informations de cette carte pour restituer les paramètres atmosphériques et océaniques de l’observation satellite.<br> <br> Les paramètres restitués sont les spectres de réflectance marine (Rrs(λ)) et l’épaisseur optique des aérosols (AOT) à 869 nm (aot_869). Les Rrs au bleu (443 et 488 nm) et au vert (547 nm) servent à calculer la concentration en chlorophylle-a à partir de l’algorithme OCx de OBPG (chl_ocx).<br> <br> Ces paramètres géophysiques sont projetés sur une grille fixe à 1/96° de résolution et archivés au format de fichiers netcdf journaliers. Chaque fichier netcdf contient cinq réflectances du visible Rrs(λ) (avec λ = 412, 443, 488, 531 et 547 nm), la chl_ocx, l’aot_869, et les coordonnées latitude et longitude. Ces paramètres sont décrits dans les fichiers, ainsi que les attributs globaux.</p> <p><br> Les fichiers netcdf sont formatés comme suite : SOM-NV-Ayyyydddhhmmss.nc ; avec yyyy = année ; ddd =<br> jour julien ; hh = heure ; mm = minute ; ss = seconde. L'extension "Ayyyydddhhmmss.nc", correspond au<br> nom du fichier MODIS_aqua du jour. Dans le cas où deux fichiers existent pour un même jour, à 5 minutes<br> près, les deux scans sont concaténés et l'orbite garde le nom du deuxième fichier.<br> Tous les fichiers sont compressés en interne à un niveau 4, pour faciliter le transfert.</p>
