Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ocean color polarization correction

Applied Optics, 2005
The polarization correction for the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on the Terra and Aqua satellites is described. The focus is on the prelaunch polarization characterization and on the derivation of polarization correction coefficients for the processing of ocean color data.

Dust absorption averaged over the Sahara inferred from moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer

Applied Optics, 2008
We estimated the average dust single scattering albedo (omega(0)) over the Sahara using four years of moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer data. The method employed is based on the theory that the critical surface reflectance (rho(c)) for which the reflectance at the top-of-the-atmosphere is not influenced by the variability of dust optical ...

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [modis] And Observations Of The Land Surface

[Proceedings] IGARSS '92 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005
The moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a NASA facility instrument that is being designed for flight on the Earth Observing System (EOS) series of missions. It is designed to measure biophysical states and dynamics of the land, atmosphere, and ocean. Plans are required for use of other instruments that will be accompanying MODIS on

Sea-surface temperature measured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Earth Observing System satellites Terra and Aqua include infrared bands that are designed for the accurate measurement of sea-surface temperature (SST). In addition to the conventional 'split-window' bands in the 10-12 /spl mu/m atmospheric window (similar in spectral properties to ...

Prototyping the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) BRDF and albedo product

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
In expectation of the launch of EOS Terra, this paper demonstrates how a semi-empirical kernel-based bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model will be used with multi-date MODIS observations to provide a standard global one kilometer BRDF and albedo product.

Enhanced vegetation index using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers

2012 5th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, 2012
The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) was developed as a standard satellite vegetation product for the Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS). In this paper, MOD3A3, a global dataset with 1km spatial resolution and one month temporal resolution, was selected as the data source. The dynamic changes of vegetation EVI in China

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.
