Last update:March 9, 2015

Data Set Short Name:
MYDARNSS

Data Set Long Name:
MODIS/Aqua Atmosphere Aeronet Subsetting Product

Platform:
Aqua

Instrument:
MODIS

Product Description:
The MYDARNSS data set consists of MODIS Atmosphere and Ancillary Products subsets that are generated over a number of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) sites. These sites comprise of sites of automatic tracking Sun photometers/sky radiometers located all over the world. The process of generating cutouts involves locating and identifying a subset of sites taken from a global AERONET that are within the spatial coverage of a 5 minute Level 2 MODIS granule and extracting 0.5 x 0.5 degree cutouts. The MYDARNSS data set consists of subsets for around 180 AERONET sites around the globe. There is one file per site with 55 Science Data Sets (SDS).

Production Frequency:
~200 files per day

Spatial Coverage:
Global

Spatial Resolution:
1 km at nadir

File Size (MB):
~2.5
