Vermote E. et al. (Co-PI), “Maintenance and refinement of the MODIS Aqua/Terra surface reflectance product suite”, NASA, 2014-2018
The primary objective of this proposal is the maintenance and refinement of a well calibrated, high quality, multi-satellite, daily, multispectral land surface reflectance dataset from 2000 to present, providing a critical data set of global land observations needed to advance Earth System Science. Such a high quality global multi-year dataset is fundamental for interdisciplinary studies of the earth system and can be used to study a wide range of land and climate related questions, quantify land use and land cover change, characterize processes and examine functions within the Earth’s land surface over time. The objectives of this research proposal are directly relevant to those specified in ROSES 2013 A.46, Terra and Aqua – Algorithms – Existing Data Products.
This maintenance proposal covers the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance product suite, M[O,Y]D09 (level 2 surface reflectance), M[Y,O]D09GA and M[Y,O]D09GQ (gridded daily product at 500m and 250m), M[Y,O]D09Q1 and M[Y,O]D09A1 (gridded 8 day composite product at 500m and 250m), M[Y,O]D09CMG (the daily global product in the climate modeling grid at 0.05deg).
The focus of this proposed work will be:
a) The close monitoring of the calibration and instrument characteristics (polarization, spectral response, band to band registration, noisy or dead detectors, instrument point spread function) and their impact on the surface reflectance product. This will provide critical input to downstream products (e.g. how the changes in the instrument impact the reflectance and cascade into Vegetation Indices, and Albedo).
b) The continuous and systematic close-to-real-time evaluation of the surface reflectance product over the AERONET sites through the use of rigorous performance metrics (Accuracy, Precision and Uncertainties)
c) The in-house quality assessment of the global performance of the product as well as the quality flags (cloud mask, exception conditions) mainly by using the Climate Modeling Product and inter-comparison with others dataset of opportunity (Terra/Aqua consistency, CALIPSO data for clouds)
d) Algorithm minor refinements as needed (polarization correction, aerosol models improvements based on AERONET).
We request to join the Land Measurements Team, and play the role of liaison with the calibration team and will focus on calibration and validation of land measurements, including cross-calibration and inter-comparison of systematic measurements and data products from the different sensors used to produce a time series. These activities will also directly benefit from our involvement in the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and Landsat-8 science teams, providing a common approach to atmospheric correction.

In this phase of the project we will continue to improve and validation the AVHRR product and transition the CDR’s to NOAA NCDC: (1) AVHRR Surface Reflectance FCDR and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index TCDR, in aggregate, for the period from 1982 – present), (2) LAI and fPAR ancillary data, in aggregate, for the period from 1982 – present. Develop near real time capability.
Vermote E. et al. (Co-PI), “Prototype Atmospheric Correction Algorithm for Sentinel-2 Data Stream”, NASA, 10/1/2013-9/30/2016
This project is aimed at producing a merged surface reflectance product from the Landsat and Sentinel-2 missions to ultimately achieve high temporal coverage (2 to 4 days repeat cycle, depending on the latitude) at high spatial resolution (20-60m). The goal is to achieve a seamless/consistent stream of surface reflectance data from the different sensors.
After having established the basic requirements for such a product and the necessary processing steps: mainly calibration, atmospheric corrections, BRDF effect corrections, spectral band pass adjustments and gridding. We will demonstrate the performance of those different corrections by using MODIS and VIIRS (Climate Modeling Grid at 0.05deg) data globally as well as Formosat-2 (8m spatial resolution) data (one crop site in South of France where 105 scenes were acquired during 2006-2010).
We will also work on the simulation of the merged Landsat and Sentinel-2 mission by using Landsat-7, Landsat-8 and the SPOT-4 Take 5 dataset. SPOT-4 Take 5 dataset is a collection of 42 sites distributed globally and systematically acquired by SPOT-4 HRV-1 and HRV-2 every 5 days during the decommissioning phase of the SPOT-4 mission (February-June 2013).
Vermote E. (Co-PI), “NPP/VIIRS Land Product Validation Research and Algorithm Refinement: Surface Reflectance”, NOAA, (2011-present).
This research support an evaluation of the accuracy of select operational algorithms for NPP/VIIRS land products. The work includes analysis of the land surface reflectance product, analysis and impact evaluation of the VIIRS SDR and VIIRS cloud mask.
We have developed VIIRS vicarious cross/calibration with Aqua over desert/bright sites. This method has been routinely applied to the data stream in order to provide near-real time monitoring of the VIIRS calibration focusing in the reflective domain. We focused in particular on the red and near-infrared bands (I1,I2 M5 and M7) which are critical for downstream products such as Vegetation indices which are used in near time for the monitoring of vegetation and agriculture area, for detecting climate induced anomaly (e.g. drought) and assessing impact on production and forecasting yields.
We have performed preliminary inter-comparison of MODIS Aqua and VIIRS surface reflectance, aerosol and cloud mask products using the Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) dataset developed for MODIS and VIIRS by our science computing facility. This activity has enabled to diagnose very rapidly issues with the VIIRS aerosol, cloud mask and reflectance algorithm on a global and continuous basis which is complementary with the detailed analysis performed on a limited amount of instrument sites (see next paragraph on the validation subset).
We have performed preliminary evaluation of VIIRS aerosol and surface reflectance products on validation subsets. This evaluation will be done by the use of the AERONET data collected at those sites which provide with the 6S radiative transfer code an independent basis to generate surface product and assess the properties of the aerosols.
Vermote E. (Co-PI), “Development of the surface reflectance Fundamental Climate Data Record from the Landsat archive, the LDCM mission and future Landsats”,NASA/USGS, (2013-2017).
The Surface Reflectance standard product developed for MODIS provides the basis for a number of higher order land products for global change and applications research. Unfortunately there was no equivalent suite of standard geophysical products provided for Landsat 7 beyond Level 1b. This has placed the burden of standard processing of Landsat data on the user community. In the LDCM era of large volume, regional to global data Landsat processing and operational use of the data, there is an urgent need for product standardization. Through this proposal and building on our MODIS and Landsat experience, we will provide a standard surface reflectance product for LDCM including cloud and cloud shadow screening. The algorithm will be robust, globally applicable and fully automated for integration into the LDCM processing chain and the code made openly available for others to use (e.g. LDCM ground stations). The approach is to extend our current research on Landsat, carried out as part of the NASA LEDAPS project for N. America and test the approach globally. Prior to the launch of LDCM the project will apply the approach to the Mid Decadal Global Land Survey Data (Phase 2), with the aim of extending data product continuity. Experience of the team with AVHRR and MODIS vicarious calibration will be applied to LDCM and close attention will be given to pre and post-launch instrument testing and performance. The team will continue to participate in a number of strategic national and international programs (e.g. LCLUC, GLAM, IGOL and GOFC-GOLD), bringing the new capabilities of LDCM into the international land observation arena and looking for synergy with other observing systems (e.g. Sentinel 2).
Vermote E. (Co-PI), “Enhancing Compatibility of Sentinel 2 and Landsat data for improved monitoring of the Earth System”, NASA, (2011-2016)
The overarching objective of the proposed research is to ensure coordination between the Landsat and Sentinel-2 programs such that the products forthcoming from these similar missions are as compatible as possible in support of their combined use for science.
More specifically, the objectives of the proposed research are to ensure:
1. careful cross calibration between Landsat and Sentinel 2
2. consistency in methods for atmospheric correction
3. effective cloud and shadow screening
4. compatibility of datasets in support of a whole suite of science applications,
including monitoring of land cover and land use change.
5. Sharing of data and methods in support of product validation
In addition, the proposed research supports a number of international science programs and objectives. For example, Land Cover (including land cover change) is one of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Essential Climate Variables (ECVs). The proposed research may make possible the production of a Land Cover ECV based on datasets from both the Landsat and Sentinel programs. Further, near real-time monitoring of forest change would greatly enhance the REDD Program (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) and the GEO Forest Carbon Tracking Task.
Vermote E. (Co-I), “Sentinel 3 Science Products: A US contribution”, NASA Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator (2012-2017).
This proposal is to provide a US investigator team with support to participate in the development of land products from European satellite systems, with an emphasis on harmonization between US and ESA products from AVHRR, MODIS, VIIRS, ATSR, MERIS and Sentinel 3. Currently there are a number of similar products being generated by NASA (MODIS) and ESA (Glob- series) from the coarse-resolution instruments and there is considerable interest in cooperation between the various parties with respect to product inter-comparison, algorithm standardization, processing procedures, validation protocols and data sharing. With the major new instruments (i.e. VIIRS, Sentinel 3) in development there is an opportunity to improve cooperation on understanding instrument performance and developing products. Similarly, with new requirements for Essential Climate Variables (ECV’s) being set by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), there is an opportunity for improved space agency coordination at the technical level on product generation. This proposed cooperation will focus on Level 1b (calibrated and geo-located radiances), cloud mask, surface reflectance, albedo, vegetation index, active fire and burned area products. The US team has considerable experience with the AVHRR and MODIS data processing and products and the VIIRS Land EDR’s and has a number of on-going interactions with their European algorithm counterparts. Through support from this proposal the US PI team will participate in the Sentinel 3 product-team activities coordinated by ESA. Our European counterparts will be invited to participate in the NASA MODIS and VIIRS Science Team Meetings. The cooperation will be implemented in the framework of the GTOS GOFC- GOLD program and the CEOS Land Product Validation (LPV) working group, engaging a broader community in the various activities.

Vermote E. et al. (PI), “Development of the VIIRS Climate quality Surface Reflectance Product Suite”, NASA, 2014-2017.
The primary objective of this proposal is the development of a well-calibrated, high quality, daily, multispectral-land surface reflectance product from the VIIRS sensor, providing global land observations to meet the needs of NASA Earth System Science and Applied Sciences and continuity with the EOS-MODIS surface reflectance product. Such a high quality, global, multi-year dataset is fundamental for interdisciplinary studies of the earth system and can be used to study a wide range of land and climate related questions, quantify land use and land cover change, providing the basis for time-series analysis to characterize processes and examine functions within the earth’s land surface. A science quality surface reflectance product compatible with MODIS, will be a fundamental data record and a necessary input to several other VIIRS Land CDR’s. It is recognized that the IDPS system is producing an intermediate surface reflectance product (SR-IP), however there is no plan of producing a consistent and reprocessed highly accurate surface reflectance from the beginning of the mission that will ensure the continuity with EOS-MODIS. It is recognized that the IDPS system is producing an intermediate surface reflectance product (SR-IP) and will make incremental improvements to known problems, however there is no plan for the IDPS to produce a consistent, reprocessed and highly accurate surface reflectance from the beginning of the mission that will ensure the continuity with EOS-MODIS and allow higher order CDR’s to be developed.
This proposal covers the VIIRS surface reflectance product suite to continue the MODIS record: level 2 surface reflectance, gridded daily product, gridded 8-day composite product.
The focus areas will be:
a) The close monitoring of the calibration and instrument characteristics and their impact on the surface reflectance product as well as upstream product (VIIRS Cloud Mask (VCM) and Aerosol), we will act as the land liaison with the calibration, VCM and atmosphere group. We will also provide those critical inputs to downstream products (e.g. Vegetation indices, Albedo).
b) The continuous and systematic near real time Validation of the surface reflectance CDR product over the AERONET sites through the use of rigorous performance metrics (Accuracy, Precision and Uncertainties).
c) The in-house quality assessment of the global performance of the product as well as the quality flags (cloud mask, exception conditions) mainly by using the global daily product and cross-comparison with others dataset of opportunity (consistency with Aqua MODIS, CALIPSO data for clouds).
d) MODIS algorithm refinements from Collection 6 will be integrated into the VIIRS algorithm and shared with the NOAA JPSS project for possible inclusion in future versions of the operational product.
