NLCD - MODIS land cover- albedo dataset for the continental United States

Description

The NLCD-MODIS land cover-albedo database integrates high-quality MODIS albedo observations with areas of homogeneous land cover from NLCD. The spatial resolution (pixel size) of the database is 480m-x-480m aligned to the standardized UGSG Albers Equal-Area projection. The spatial extent of the database is the continental United States. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wickham , J., C.A. Barnes, and T. Wade. Combining NLCD and MODIS to Create a Land Cover-Albedo Dataset for the Continental United States. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 170(0): 143-153, (2015).
