AbstractThe Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) observing facility on the Earth Observing System (EOS) is composed of two instruments: MODIS-Nadir (N) and MODIS-Tilt (T). MODIS-N has 36 spectral bands between 0.4 and 14.2 micrometers with spatial resolution between 250 and 1000 meters. MODIS-T has 32 bands with 10–15 nanometer bandwidths between 0.4 and 0.9 micrometers. MODIS-T scans fore and aft ±50 degrees. Both instruments scan cross-track so as to provide daily (MODIS-N) or once every two days (MODIS-T) coverage at 705 kilometers altitude. Both instruments are entering into the execution phases of their development in 1990. The bands of the MODIS-N have been chosen so as to provide key observations of land, ocean, and atmosphere parameters that will provide key data sets assisting in gaining an improved understanding of global processes.
