## MODIS Land Collection 5 Workshop

- MODIS Science Team Meeting
- Land Breakout Session
- Robert Wolfe
- Oct. 31, 2006

## MODIS Collection 5 Workshop

- Will provide an in-depth look at the Collection 5 changes to the MODIS Land products, as well as the status of production and the reprocessing schedule, and QA
- Is an opportunity for feedback from the user community on MODIS land products and data access
- Future land product plans will be discussed
- Will include presentations, tutorials and discussion sessions
- Includes a half day workshop on the second day on the AVHRR to MODIS Long Term Data Records

*January 17–18, 2007 @ UMD**University College Inn and Conference Center*

## Workshop Notes

- The overview will give the processing schedule and time series issues in the C4 to C5 transition.
- ST presentations will focus on the changes made in C5.  The idea is to keep each science team presentation to 10 minutes to allow for more interaction with the users.
- QA will focus on metadata use and known problems, also browse and time-series tools.
- Archive and Distribution should be an overview of the DAACs (EDC, ORNL and NSIDC) plus the SCF's and distributed sites (Rapid Response, etc.).
- A tutorial on LAADS might be useful depending on whether are distributing from that site at that time.
- There is one set of breakout sessions by product family during the morning of the second day.  We can also add/delete topics depending on the interest of the participants.
