MODIS Web

The MODIS Web platform offers a diverse range of geospatial data products derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments. These instruments, carried on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, provide global observations of Earth's land, oceans, and atmosphere. The data is crucial for monitoring environmental changes and understanding Earth system processes.

The website categorizes its offerings into several key areas, including Level 1 data (raw radiances, calibrated radiances, geolocation fields), Atmosphere Products (aerosols, clouds, atmospheric profiles, precipitable water), Land Products (surface reflectance, land surface temperature, vegetation indices, land cover, fires, evapotranspiration), Cryosphere Products (snow cover, sea ice), and Ocean Products (sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, remote sensing reflectance). Each product provides valuable insights into specific environmental parameters.

This extensive collection supports a broad spectrum of scientific research and applications, from climate modeling and environmental monitoring to resource management and disaster assessment. The data is provided for public access, enabling researchers and the general public to utilize high-quality satellite observations.
