This video focuses on NASA's Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Surface Reflectance data distributed by NASA’s Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC). This video explains how to interpret MODIS Surface Reflectance data quality information, including decoding Quality Assurance (QA) bits, using tools like Land Data Operational Products Evaluation (LDOPE) and Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS), and finding further resources on the LP DAAC website.
We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.
