## WELCOME

**MODIS SCIENCE TEAM MEETING**
**Baltimore, MD**
**January 4, 2005**
**Vincent V. Salomonson**
**MODIS Science Team Leader**

## SYSTEMS STATUS LOOKS GOOD OVERALL

**INSTRUMENTS ARE PERFORMING NOMINALLY**
**DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS DOING WELL**
**	****-GSFC DAAC DELIVERING LEVEL 1 CONSISTENTLY**
**	****-MODAPS DOING WELL—FORWARD PROCESSING **
**	**** ****STAYS ABOUT 1 DAY BEHIND REAL-TIME**
**	****-COLLECTION 5 REPROCESSING FOR ATMOSPHERES**
**	**** ****WILL BEGIN VERY SOON**
**	****-COLLECTION 5 FOR LAND WILL BEGIN APRIL/MARCH**
**	****-TERRA SST REPROCESSING DONE AND FORWARD**
**	****  ****PROCESSING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL OCDPS IS READY**
**	****  ****TO TAKE OVER**
**OCDPS IS ROUTINELY HANDLING ALL AQUA OCEAN PRODUCTS **
**  ****(OCEAN COLOR AND SST) AND WILL DO TERRA SST SOON.  **
**  ****TERRA OCEAN COLOR IS TBD**
**DATA PRODUCT DELIVERY GOING WELL FOR DAAC’S**
**TERRA APPROVED BY “SENIOR REVIEW TEAM” FOR EXTENDED**
**   ****OPERATIONS TO 2009.**

## USE OF MODIS OBSERVATIONS/PRODUCTS

**	****	****310 MODIS publications in 2005**
**	****	****181 MODIS publications in 2004**
**ISI Proceedings: 799 MODIS-related publications**
**	****	****234 MODIS publications in 2005**
**	****	****105 MODIS publications in 2004**
** ****At least 200 MODIS-related presentations/posters at the Fall AGU**
**	****	****186 in Fall AGU meeting**
**Use of MODIS to improve scientific insight and results is growing**
** ****	****It helps to have:**
**	****	****-Almost  6 years of Terra MODIS observations**
**	****	****	****(Feb 2000 through December 2005)**
**	****	****-3 1⁄2 years of Aqua MODIS observations**
**This Meeting will show even more results**

**USE OF MODIS OBSERVATIONS/PRODUCTS**
**IS INCREASING RAPIDLY**
