Last update: May 23, 2006
Data Set Short Name:
MOD07_L2
Data Set Long Name:
MODIS/Terra Temperature and Water Vapor Profiles 5-Min L2 Swath 5km
Platform:
Terra
Instrument:
MODIS
Product Description:
The MODIS Atmospheric Profile data product file MOD07_L2 onsists of several
parameters: they are total-ozone burden, atmospheric stability, temperature
and moisture profiles, and atmospheric water vapor. All of these parameters
are produced day and night for Level 2 at 5x5 1-km pixel resolution when at
least 9 FOVs are cloud free. The MODIS total-ozone burden is an estimate of
the total-column tropospheric and stratospheric ozone content. The MODIS
atmospheric stability consists of three daily Level 2 atmospheric stability
indices. The Total Totals (TT), the Lifted Index (LI), and the K index (K)
are each computed using the infrared temperature- and moisture-profile data,
also derived as part of MOD07. The MODIS temperature and moisture profiles
are produced at 20 vertical levels. The MODIS atmospheric water-vapor
product is an estimate of the total tropospheric column water vapor made
from integrated MODIS infrared retrievals of atmospheric moisture profiles
in clear scenes.
