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 ...

Techniques for developing land-use classification using moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer imagery

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2009
Abstract. Using NOAA AVHRR or MODIS imagery to create land-use classifications has been attempted for many years. Unfortunately, most of these classifications do not differentiate crop types. Crop models require that vegetation characteristics extracted from an image be the correct crop type.

Saharan dust storm detection using moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer thermal infrared bands

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2007
This paper investigates the approaches of Saharan dust storm detection with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) thermal infrared bands and presents an index, thermal-infrared dust index, through quantitative analysis of MODIS data for major dust events over the Atlantic Ocean during year 2004-2006. It is found that aerosol optical

Mapping Total Vegetation Cover Across Western Rangelands With Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Data

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2012
Remotely sensed observations of rangelands provide a synoptic view of vegetation condition unavailable from other means. Multiple satellite platforms in operation today (e.g. Landsat, moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer [MODIS]) offer opportunities for regional monitoring of rangelands.
