Over the past eight years, the MODIS Land Science Team has developed a validation infrastructure that supports key activities needed to determine the accuracy of its global land products. These include resource support of the “EOS Land Validation Core Sites”, coordination of EOS, MODIS and other NASA-funded land validation activities, and international leadership of efforts to establish standardized validation protocols and global land product inter-comparisons associated with NASA’s priority land products. This poster presents the main components of land product validation effort at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
