When was modis launched

The Climate Modeling Grid products provide global coverage in a Geographic Latitude and Longitude projection at a resolution of 0. The geographic coordinates of the lower-right corner of the lower right pixel are The CMG consists of 7, columns and 3, rows representing the entire globe for use in climate simulation models.

The HDF metadata contains valuable information including global attributes and dataset specific attributes pertaining to the granule. It provides a subset of the HDF metadata. The Data Set attributes contain specific SDS information such as the data range and applicable scaling factors for the data. Several reasons define this choice of acquisition window, which include the following:.

Please confirm before starting this batch download of listed below totaling , one file at a time. Both Terra- and Aqua-MODIS instruments view the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands ranging in wavelengths from 0.

The twin-MODIS design was aimed to optimize cloud-free imaging while minimizing the optical effects of shadows and glare that occur with morning and afternoon sunlight. MODIS data products, in three different resolutions — m, m, and 1 km — help improve our understanding of global environmental processes and dynamics occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere.

MODIS-derived data products continue to play a vital role in helping develop and validate global Earth system models with sufficient predictive potential to inform and help policymakers as they address global environmental change.
