EOS Land Val

Earth Observing System Land Validation

The objective of the EOS Land Validation (Land Val) project is to support the validation of Earth Observing System (EOS) Land Products, especially those derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), and Landsat 7. The data include in situ soil measurements for validating satellite products.
