Status of the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer level 1B algorithm

Algorithms, Technologies, and Applications for Multispectral and Hyperspectral Imaging XXVII, 2021
The Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments are on-board the Aqua and Terra spacecraft, launched in 2002 and 1999, respectively. Since beginning operation, they have continued to collect valuable remote sensing data of the Earth in 36 spectral bands ranging in wavelengths from 0.41 to 14.5 μm.

Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ocean color polarization correction [PDF]

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.

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 1993
The moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a scanning radiometer that will fly as a facility instrument on the NASA polar-orbiting earth observing system (EOS) spacecraft. The first MODIS instrument is scheduled for launch in 1998 on the first EOS-AM spacecraft.

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

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

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.

Fifteen‐year statistical analysis of cloud characteristics over China using Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer observations

International Journal of Climatology, 2019
Using 15‐year observations obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board both NASA Terra and Aqua from March 2003 to February 2018, this study investigated the spatio‐temporal variations of both macro‐ and micro ...

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

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 ...

A snow index for the Landsat Thematic Mapper and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer

Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
Describes the snow mapping algorithm being developed for use with the Earth Observing System (EOS) MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). A key component of this snow mapping algorithm is the normalized difference snow index (NDSI). The NDSI employs Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) visible (0.56 /spl mu/m) and near-infrared (1.65 /spl mu/m)

Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer-based vegetation indices and their fidelity in the tropics

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2011
Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived vegetation indices (VIs)-the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and the Land Surface Water Index (LSWI)-are evaluated in terms of their sensitivity to the seasonal greenness pattern and moisture regime of the tropical forests of Hawaii.

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.
