7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract
There are many standard MODIS data products that scientists are using to study global change.
These products are being used by scientists from a variety of disciplines, including oceanography,biology, and atmospheric science.
■Satellite/Sensor
The moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a payload scientific instrument built
by Santa Barbara Remote Sensing[1] that was launched into Earth orbit by NASA in 1999 on board theTerra (EOS AM) Satellite, and in 2002 on board the Aqua (EOS PM) satellite. The instruments capture
data in 36 spectral bands ranging in wavelength from 0.4 μm to 14.4 μm and at varying spatial
resolutions (2 bands at 250 m, 5 bands at 500 m and 29 bands at 1 km). Together the instruments
image the entire Earth every 1 to 2 days. They are designed to provide measurements in large-scale
global dynamics including changes in Earth's cloud cover, radiation budget and processes occurringin the oceans, on land, and in the lower atmosphere.
