AQUA MODIS Level 1B 1km Radiance Data

Project:

SOCRATES

Summary

This data set contains the NASA AQUA satellite Level 1B calibrated and geolocated radiances at aperature for all 36 MODIS spectral bands at 1km resolution. These data are in daily tar files that contain 5min swath HDF data files that are at least partially in the SOCRATES domain.

Archive note

This is a large dataset. Each daily tar file contains 1.5-2 Gb.
