MODIS/Aqua Geolocation Fields 1km 5-Min 1A Swath Subset along MLS V002 (MAM03S0) at GES DISC
This is the MODIS/Aqua subset along the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) field of view track. The goal of the subset is to select and return MODIS data that are within +-100 km across the MLS track. I.e. the resultant MODIS subset swath is about 200 km cross-track. Thus, MAM03S0 cross-track width is 201 pixels. Along-track, all MODIS pixels from the original product are preserved.
In the standard product, geolocation fields are calculated for each 1 km MODIS Instantaneous Field of Views (IFOV) for all orbits daily. The locations and ancillary information corresponds to the intersection of the centers of each IFOV from 10 detectors in an ideal 1 km band on the Earth's surface. A digital terrain model is used to model the Earth's surface. The main inputs are the spacecraft attitude and orbit, the instrument telemetry and the digital elevation model. The geolocation fields include geodetic Latitude, Longitude, surface height above geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, satellite zenith and azimuth angles, and a land/sea mask for each 1 km sample. Additional information is included in the header to enable the calculation of the approximate location of the center of the detectors of any of the 36 MODIS bands. This product is used as input by a large number of subsequent MODIS products, particularly the products produced by the Land team.
(The shortname for this product is MAM03S0).
