MODIS/Aqua Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG V006
Listed in NASA Data Portal
Description
The MYD13C1 Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the MYD13C1 Version 6.1 data product. The MYD13C1 Version 6 product provides a Vegetation Index (VI) value at a per pixel basis.
There are two primary vegetation layers. The first is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which is referred to as the continuity index to the existing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (NOAA-AVHRR) derived NDVI. The second vegetation layer is the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), which has improved sensitivity over high biomass regions.

The Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) consists 3,600 rows and 7,200 columns of 5,600 meter (m) pixels. Global MYD13C1 data are cloud-free spatial composites of the gridded 16-day 1 kilometer MYD13A2 data, and are provided as a Level 3 product projected on a 0.05 degree (5,600 m) geographic CMG. The MYD13C1 has data fields for NDVI, EVI, VI QA, reflectance data, angular information, and spatial statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and number of used input pixels at the 0.05 degree CMG resolution.
Known Issues
* The incorrect representation of the aerosol quantities (low, average, high) in the Collection 6 MYD09 surface reflectance products may have impacted MYD13 Vegetation Index data products particularly over arid bright surfaces.
- Corrections were implemented in Collection 6.1 reprocessing.
- For complete information about known issues please refer to the MODIS/VIIRS Land Quality Assessment website.
