Net Radiation and Albedo from MODIS for Xingu River Basin, Brazil, 2000-2012
A new dataset provides daily average land surface net radiation (Rnet) as an 8-day time series at approximately 0.5 km resolution for the upper Xingu River Basin in Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 2000-02-18 to 2012-11-16. The parameters needed to calculate Rnet, including albedo, downward shortwave radiation (RSnet), upward longwave radiation (RLnet[up]) and downward longwave radiation (RLnet[down]) were derived from three MODIS products (MOD43A3, MOD11A2 and MOD08E3) and local weather station data. The Rnet estimates were validated with measurements from a net radiometer installed on a tower in Sinop, Mato Grosso.
