On-Orbit Calibration and Performance of Aqua MODIS Reflective Solar Bands [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2010 Aqua MODIS has successfully operated on-orbit for more than six years since its launch in May 2002, continuously making global observations and improving studies of changes in the Earth's climate and environment. Twenty of the 36 MODIS spectral bands, covering wavelengths from 0.41 to 2.2 ?m, are the reflective solar bands (RSBs).
