Welcome to the MODIS Adaptive Processing System (MODAPS) Services website.
The website is intended to provide user information concerning all aspects
of MODAPS data production, archive, and distribution. The website is a
companion to LAADS Web,
which provides access to the data products archived by MODAPS in the Level 1
and Atmospheres Archive and Distribution System (LAADS).
This website covers a very wide range of topics in considerable detail. The
website has been designed to accommodate a range of users from "first-time"
users who, perhaps, have very limited knowledge of MODIS and MODAPS services
to experienced users who are searching for a specific detailed piece of
information. To that end, the site includes summary material for the former
(About) and a "Quick Links" feature
that allows an experienced user to navigate to a detailed level in a rapid
manner. Please send any comments or suggestions concerning the success, or
otherwise, of this strategy to
User Support.
These pages include production plans compared to actual production, the PGE
versions presently included in production and their promotion history, a
list of the current subscriptions, and ingest metrics.
These pages provide details concerning the products archived in LAADS and
the associated data pools, instructions for accessing these data, data
archive and distribution metrics, and a summary of the capabilities of the
current and future operational versions of LAADS.
These pages provide access to the Level 1, atmospheres, and land PGE codes
currently being used in Collection 5 data production. The requestor will
be asked to complete a Software Useage Agreement.
For users who have already signed the Software Usage Agreement, you can download
code from here.
These pages provide contact information and hours of operation for user
support, contact information for all staff associated with MODIS data
production, archive, and distribution, and metrics for user support services.
These pages identify the Quality Assurance (QA) process utilized for the
Collection 5 atmospheres products, identifies which products have
successfully passed the QA process, and lists any known issues.
These pages provides access to a variety of documents including production
plans for Collection 5 reprocessing, the weekly MODAPS reports to the PI
Processing (PIP) group, and the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents
(ATBDs).
This page provides various links to sites related to MODAPS production
including MODIS instrument information, satellite overpasses, and the MODIS
discipline sites.
