  1. Current Status of MODIS (Terra and Aqua) by Chuck Trees for the MODIS Team Members 8th IOCCG Meeting in Florence, Italy (24-26 Feb 03)

  2. Brief MODIS History • Definition Panel 1984 • Selection of Instrument, Instrument Team - 1989 • Restructuring - 1992 • MODIS-T out, PM MODIS-N in (6 MODIS-N’s) • Major budget reduction - 1997 • Addition of team member investigations • DIS rescope • 6 platforms reduced to 1st 2 - AM-1, PM-1 • LaunchTerra 12/1999 • Launch Aqua 5/2002 • Re-compete team in mid 2003

  7. MODIS Ocean Products • MODIS Instruments: • Terra (1030 morning), • Aqua (1330 afternoon) • 40 products: • 4 SST, • 36 Ocean Color • Resolution: • Spatial: • Level 2 - 1km, ~2000km x 2000km; • Level 3 - 4km, 36km, 1 deg [all products are global] • Temporal Resolution: • Level 2 - 5 minute granule; • Level 3 - daily, 8 day week, monthly, yearly

  8. MODIS Ocean data products • There are 86 ocean parameters available in over 100 categories of MODIS Ocean data types archived by (and may be obtained from) the NASA Goddard Distributed Active Archive Center. • The three basic groupings of MODIS ocean data parameters are: • ocean color • sea surface temperature • ocean primary production • Ocean Parameter categories: • 36 Ocean Color parameters • 4 Sea Surface Temperature parameters • 8 Primary Productivity parameters • (including 2 Primary Production indices) • 38 Quality Control parameters.

  9. Future Data Releases • Next reprocessing Terra Collection 4 in May 2003 1. Calibration issues and discontinuities will be corrected for time period of Sept. 2001 - Dec 2002 • Next reprocessing (TERRA Collection 5) • New cross-scan normalization based on individual detectors. This improves detector gain stability across the scan, thereby improving stripe removal. • Sun glint correction using vector winds to improve the east-west adjacent swath edge consistency. • Ocean BRDF correction • Combined Terra and Aqua products

  11. AQUA Collection 3

  12. Merged Terra, Aqua, SeaWiFS Chlor_a_2 January 19, 2003 full time series available in SeaWiFS 9km format http://jeager.gsfc.nasa.gov/browsetool/

  13. 2000 2001 2002 Valid period 305-800

  14. Comparison of MODIS Chlorophyll ProductsJune 2001Chlor_a_2 Chlor_a_3 (empirical) (semi-analytical) Note that Chlor_a_3 results are similar for northern subtropics, but higher north of 40o N and for upwelling areas, where it has adjusted to higher-nutrient effects.

  15. Independent Validation Study Gregg and Casey, in progress NODC + SeaBASS, L-3 4.6km Quality Level 0, 1 Chlor_a_2 virtually identical performance as for SeaWiFS r2 = 0.757 n=1.6K vs 0.759 n>4.5K Semi-analytic Chlor_a_3 shows improvement r2 = 0.784 Regional analysis is underway.

OCEAN PRODUCTIVITY from MODIS : A New Baseline Global average Validated data period Above: Mixed layer Ocean Production Index P2 Standard MODIS Product Collection 4 South Atlantic 10S° to 50°S Esaias et al. Poster: Compares Ocean Production using MODIS, SeaWiFS, different chlorophyll algorithms two production models MODIS Semi-analytic chlorophyll results in 2 x greater production in the key Southern Ocean regions, and phase differences, global total between 57 and 59 GT C. SeaWiFS/MODIS differences are relatively small. Antarctic, S of 50°S Terra ONPP time series using chlorophyll from SeaWiFS (green), MODIS Chlor_a_2(SeaWiFS analog) (black), Chlor_MODIS(red), MODIS Chlor_a_3 Semi-analytic chlorophyll(blue) for global and 2 SO regions.
