Abstract:
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 (EOS) AM-1 "Terra" mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base on December 18, 1999. Scene data from MODIS became available to the MODIS Science Team on February 24, 2000. The purpose of this paper is to provide some quantitative estimates of on-orbit performance based on information available from the Terra MODIS as of March 2000.
