STAR MODIS Satellite Visible Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/251.012

Summary
The MODIS instrument operated on both the Terra and Aqua spacecraft during
STAR. The viewing swath width was 2,330 km and viewed the entire surface of
the Earth every one to two days. Its detectors measured 36 spectral bands
between 0.405 and 14.385 µm, and it acquired data at three spatial resolutions
-- 250m, 500m, and 1,000m. Along with all the data from other instruments on
board the Terra spacecraft and Aqua Spacecraft, MODIS data were transferred to
ground stations in White Sands, New Mexico, via the Tracking and Data Relay
Satellite System (TDRSS). The data were then sent to the EOS Data and
Operations System (EDOS) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The Level
1A, Level 1B, geolocation and cloud mask products and the Higher-level MODIS
land and atmosphere products were produced by the MODIS Adaptive Processing
System (MODAPS), and then were parceled out among three DAACs for
distribution. MODIS Level 1 and atmosphere products are available through the
NASA Low-Altitude Air Defense System (LAADS) web site. For further information
see: https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ The MODIS Level 1B 1km earth-view
(EV) product (visible satellite imagery) over southern Baffin Island were
downloaded for the 2007 Autumn STAR IOP period.
