This page describes and gives options for manipulating the USGS LandDAAC MODIS 1km 8day version_005 dataset. We start with the options for manipulating, because once you are comfortable with the system, they are the most useful.

Help

Expert Mode

Help/Terse: switches back and forth between this relatively descriptive page that contains extended explanations, and the page that just has the information.
Expert Mode: switches into a mode that lets you access several datasets at the same time, and enter data-manipulating commands directly as text rather than clicking on a series of pages.
When in Expert Mode there is a list of active datasets at the top of the page, followed by a text window containing the command equivalent of the current page. These commands can be edited or extended.

Note that there will be many more options once you have picked a particular variable, because the server is currently more adept at manipulating single variables than it is at manipulating datasets (e.g. collections of variables).

Dataset Description
