* Sites marked with an asterisk are already registered in the existing MODIS subset list and require no modification.
Notes:
These
locations were compared to existing MODIS subset list (looking for duplicates,
imprecise locations etc.). A number of LTER sites have
additional subset sites for specific NASA projects. These locations are in addition to those
listed here.
For
coastal sites, primary meteorological stations or primary research sites
sufficiently inland to prevent subsetting a partial
land/water area were used here. The exception to this is the VCR flux
tower site already registered. This VCR location
- the flux tower - already registered for MODIS subsets will
include water and is also subject to tides.
Many
of the research site locations included here are the center location of high
resolution "GFL" reconnaissance data for
which LTER has been previously registered.
Locations
for Palmer Station and McMurdo are included although
MODIS data may not be generally available because of the high latitude. The MCR and CCE sites have also been included. Reflectance data
would be quite useful for these sites although they probably don't fall under
the purview of the ORNL DAAC...
