What is MODIS • MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer • Hyper-Spectral sensor onboard two satellites (Terra and Aqua) • Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths • Data stored in HDF-EOS gridded file format Source : http://aqua.nasa.gov
MODIS is great! but …….. Users (Field researchers) have some inconveniences :
Accessibility • Data Format • Processing Time
What ORNL-DAAC offers? User community requested that we prepare MODIS Land Products in an easy-to-use format and size • To validate remote sensing products • To characterize field sites
Tools Used • hdp dumpsds from The HDF group • Customized for our need • MODIS Reprojection tool from LPDAAC • GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) • Minnesota Map server • Custom Perl code
MODIS Subsets for Selected sites Data Formats Offered • ASCII – 7x7 km subsets • GeoTIFF – 25x25 km subsets
