Description
The MCD19A3CMG Version 6.1 data product is a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra and Aqua combined Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) Vegetation Index Level 3 product produced daily in a 0.05 degree (5,600 meters at the equator) Climate Modeling Grid (CMG). The MCD19A3CMG product provides Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) at ground level in the absence of atmospheric scattering or absorption.
The MCD19A3CMG Vegetation Index data product contains the following Science Dataset (SDS) layers: NDVI, NDVI normalized to a fixed geometry of solar zenith angle at 45° and nadir view, gap-filled NDVI, EVI, and EVI normalized to a fixed geometry of solar zenith angle at 45° and nadir view. A low-resolution browse image is also included showing NDVI created using a composite of all available orbits.
