Updates of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on-orbit calibration uncertainty assessments

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2018
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments have successfully operated for more than 18 and 16 years, respectively, on-board the NASA’s Earth Observing System Terra and Aqua spacecraft. Both Terra and Aqua MODIS have significantly contributed to the advance of global Earth remote sensing applications with a broad range of ...

Vicarious calibration of the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Airborne Simulator thermal-infrared channels

Applied Optics, 1999
We made an experimental vicarious calibration of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Airborne Simulator (MAS) thermal infrared (TIR) channel data acquired in the field campaign near Mono Lake, Calif. on 10 March 1998 to demonstrate the advantage of using high-elevation sites in dry atmospheric conditions for vicarious calibration.

Retrieval of cloud phase and crystal habit from Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2005
A method of retrieving cloud phase and the dominant ice crystal habit from radiances measured by the Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has been developed. The retrieval method takes advantage of the differences in the phase function of various particle shapes as a function of ...

Preliminary land surface products from the NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)

IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002
Early results are described for some of the land products from MODIS generated in test and evaluation mode prior to operational product release. These products give a first glimpse of the potential of the MODIS instrument for land surface studies.

Early instrument performance results from the Terra/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)

IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a comprehensive multispectral imager covering the range between 0.4 /spl mu/m and 14.4 /spl mu/m, obtaining near global coverage using a 2300 km swath on a daily basis in 36 spectral bands at nadir spatial resolutions between 250 m and 1,000 m. MODIS was launched on the Earth Observing System

Terra and Aqua moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer collection 6 level 1B algorithm

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2013
The moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) was launched on the Terra spacecraft on Dec.18, 1999 and on Aquaon May 4, 2002. The data acquired by these instruments have contributed to the long-term climate data record for more than a decade and represent a key component of NASA’s Earth observing system.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) BRDF and albedo product: preliminary results

IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002
This paper presents some of the preliminary results generated by the MODIS BRDF and albedo science data product (MOD43B). The operational algorithm relies on a semiempirical kernel-based bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model and multi-date MODIS observations to provide global one kilometer measures of BRDF, albedo (spectral and ...

Water vapor retrievals using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) near‐infrared channels

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2003
At present, two Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on board the NASA Terra and Aqua Spacecraft platforms are operational for global remote sensing of the land, ocean, and atmosphere. In this paper, we describe an algorithm for water vapor derivations using several MODIS near‐IR channels.

Cross calibration of ocean-color bands from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on Terra platform

Applied Optics, 2008
Ocean-color applications require maximum uncertainties in blue-wavelength water-leaving radiances in oligotrophic ocean of approximately 5%. Water-leaving radiances from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite, however, exhibit temporal drift of the order of 15% as well as sensor changes in response versus scan and ...
