MODIS/Terra Aerosol, Cloud and Water Vapor Subset 5-Min L2 Swath 5km and 10km
Platform:
Terra
Instrument:
MODIS
Product Description:
MODATML2 contains a combination of key high interest science parameters obtained from the complete set of standard at-launch Level-2 Source Products: Aerosol Properties (Optical Depth, Small Mode Optical Depth Ratio, Small and Large Mode Solution Index over Ocean, Effective Particle Radius and QA Flags), Water Vapor Properties (Near-IR and IR Total Column Water), Cloud Properties (Optical Thickness, Effective Radius, Phase, Cloud Top Temperature and Pressure, Cloud Fraction and Cirrus Reflectance) and Cloud Mask Flags. It is to be noted that two sets of geolocation arrays (5 km and 10 km resolution) are provided in this product. Some of the science parameters (cloud, water-vapor and cloud mask) have been subsampled to 5 km, from the original 1 km data. This product was designed to be compact (a single CD can contain one full day of data files!) yet robust enough to be useful to a significant number of MODIS data users.
