Description:
This is the file specification for the 16 day MODIS VI CMG Product. The output
product have datafields for the 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. The prodcut is produced
with the MOD13A2 (1km) product as input. Nominally each input consists of 286
tiles which are reprojected into the geographic projection and spatially
averaged and QA filtered. This version of the algorithm works for both Terra
(MOD) and Aqua (MYD) processing, with suitable changes in the pcf files.
Descriptions of metadata attributes and SDSs are given.

Description: Quality Assurance data for both VI layers defined above. The 16 bit
unsigned integer has been divided into 9 separate QA fields that are
defined below:
Bit: Description:
0-1 NDVI quality
00 NDVI produced, good quality;
01 NDVI produced, but check QA
10 (pixel not produced due to cloud effects)

SDS Definition: DataField_13
Name: CMG 0.05 Deg 16 days pixel reliability
Description: The CMG pixel realiability is a ranking scheme that summarizes all QA
info indicating how reliable the pixel is:
-1 : No data, FILL value
0 : Ideal data, use with confidence
1 : Good data, but with one or more problems of aerosol, shadow, viewing
geomtery, etc..
2 : Possible snow/ice cover (only set if requested in the PCF).
The algorithm uses a threshold technique based on the input QA snow/
ice flag. If 10% or more of contributing input pixels to a CMG pixel
have the snow/ice flag set, it will be marked as snow/ice. In case
the PCF flag is set to NO, no information regarding snow/ice cover
will be present in the output. There is a metadata attribute in the
output file, "SNOWICEFLAGGED", that indicates whether or not snow/ice
was flagged at processing time.
3 : Cloud covered data
Theoretically there should be no cloudy data in this product. The
algorithm completely filters all cloudy data and fill the gaps using
historic MODIS time series data set. However, when no historic data is
available (<0.002% of all pixels, collection 4 icorrectly marked data),
the VI layers will display a fill calculated from cloudy values and
this will be indicated in the pixel reliability.
4 : No real data, estimaetd from historic time series(*)
(*) The historic time series used to fill the gaps is a compilation of a consistent
year average from all the MODIS data to this date. This historic data set is
only used when actual data is missing or cloudy for the composite periods being
processed.
