Global Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud detection and height evaluation using CALIOP

, 2008
[1] A global 2-month comparison is presented between the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for both cloud detection and cloud top height (CTH) retrievals.

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.

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.

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

Sea Ice Extent and Classification Mapping with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Airborne Simulator

Remote Sensing of Environment, 1999
An algorithm for mapping sea ice extent and generalized classification of sea ice by reflective and temperature characteristics with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Airborne Simulator (MAS) data is presented. The algorithm was tested using a MAS scene over the Bering Sea near St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, USA, acquired 8 April 1995.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) atmospheric correction: GPS, moderate resolution Imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), and InSAR integration

, 2005
Atmospheric effects represent one of the major limitations of repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). In this paper, GPS, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data were integrated to provide regional water vapor

Characterization of earthshine impacts on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer reflective solar bands calibration

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2008
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is one of the key instruments for NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) missions. Its high quality land, ocean, and atmosphere data products heavily rely on accurate on-orbit calibration and characterization.

Thermal infrared remote sensing of volcanic emissions using the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2004
The volcanological community has a powerful new tool in the spaceborne moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), which, from its synoptic perspective, provides satellite imagery of every volcano on Earth every 2 days. MODIS has the spectral characteristics to be able to utilise previously developed retrievals that quantify volcanic ash ...

Identification of anthropogenic and natural dust sources using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue level 2 data

, 2010
[1] Mineral dust interacts with radiation and impacts both the regional and global climate. The relative contribution of natural and anthropogenic dust sources, however, remains largely uncertain.
