– The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) gathers spectral information in 36 bands of light, ranging spectrally from the visible to the thermal infrared, and ranging in resolution from 250 meters to 1 kilometer Imagery collected by the MODIS sensor will cover the entire earth every 1 to 2 days, allowing processes across the globe to be monitored on a day by day basis UMAC uses only two of the 36 bands to generate the NDVI products at 250 meter resolution You can view and download these products from this site back to index
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (sensor for EOS satellite)
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, a scanner carried aboard the EOS range of NASA satellites See MODIS for more details
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, an instrument flown on-board NASA's Terra spacecraft, was launched on December 18, 1999 MODIS views the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths; these data, along with data from a second MODIS (which is being developed for the Aqua satellite to be launched in 2002), will improve our understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere (http: //modis gsfc nasa gov/)
Abbreviation for Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, an instrument built to fly on EOS AM-1 and that will view the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days acquiring data in 36 spectral bands to improve our understanding of globa dynamics and processes occurring on the surface of the Earth, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere See the MODIS Web site and King et al (1992)
