Can Modis see through clouds?

MODIS is an optical sensor, which has inherent limitations in observing sea ice and snow. Unlike a passive-microwave sensor, which can detect microwave energy through clouds, MODIS cannot observe the surface when cloud cover is present.

Is MODIS Terra data free?

The Terra MODIS instrument was one of the first satellites to constantly broadcast data for anyone with the right equipment and software to download, free of charge.

Where can I download remote sensing data?

Is MODIS low resolution?

MODIS stands for Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. It has 36 spectral bands, 250-1000 meter resolution, and averages a 2-day revisit period.
 

What is the spatial resolution of MODIS data?

It has a viewing swath width of 2,330 km and views the entire surface of the Earth every one to two days. Its detectors measure 36 spectral bands and it acquires data at three spatial resolutions: 250 m, 500 m, and 1,000 m.

How do I get MODIS images?

You can obtain MODIS Atmosphere products from the same LAADS site that MODIS Daily scenes are distributed at: http://ladsweb.nascom.nasa.gov/data/search.html.



What are the possible source of MODIS data collection?

MODIS Processing Description



Along with all the data from other instruments on board the Terra and Aqua platforms, MODIS data are transferred to ground stations in White Sands, New Mexico, via the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS).

Where do I get MODIS daily scenes?

Individual daily MODIS scenes can be obtained at the Level 1 and Atmosphere Archive and Distribution System (LAADS) at: https://ladsweb.nascom.nasa.gov/search/. The page should open with the 1 Products tab active.
