GLOBAL CLUMPING INDEX MAP DERIVED FROM MODIS BRDF PRODUCTS
Abstract
In this study, we show for the first time a global Clumping Index (CI) map at 500 m resolution derived using the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) product from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). We found that the hotspot calculated from the MODIS BRDF product is underestimated in comparison with POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances (POLDER) measurements very near the hotspot, so …
