MODIS/Aqua Surface Reflectance Daily L2G Global 250 m SIN Grid NRT

Metadata Updated: April 10, 2026

The MODIS/Aqua Surface Reflectance Daily L2G Global 250m SIN Grid Near Real Time (NRT) product is an estimate of the surface spectral reflectance as it would be measured at ground level in the absence of atmospheric scattering or absorption. Low-level data are corrected for atmospheric gases and aerosols, yielding a level-2 basis for several higher-order gridded level-2 (L2G) and level-3 products.MYD09GQ provides Bands 1 and 2 at a 250-meter resolution in a daily gridded L2G product in the Sinusoidal projection. Science Data Sets provided for this product include reflectance for Bands 1 and 2 a quality rating observation coverage and observation number. This product is meant to be used in conjunction with MYD09GA where important quality and viewing geometry information is stored.
