We utilize the operational MODIS BRDF products to create spatially
and temporally complete bases. Although a nine-year record of
global BRDFs from NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites now exists, its
inclusion in regional and global models has been limited by the
extensive data-gaps caused by persistent clouds and ephemeral snow
cover. This research focuses on bridging the gaps in the MODIS BRDF
products, which is achieved by applying rigorous temporal
interpolation techniques based on vegetation development curves.
Comparison of the resulting MODIS BRDF products with the direct
BRDF retrievals from the POLDER-3 sensor shows a very good linear
relationship between these two remotely sensed products. This
resulting consistent, high-quality, long-term reflectance
anisotropy databases will benefit the regional and global modeling
and monitoring communities.
