2018
2018 MODIS/VIIRS Calibration Workshop
MODIS Thermal Emissive Band Crosstalk Workshop
The MODIS TEBs (20-25 and 27-30) for both Aqua and Terra show signs of electronic crosstalk. This contamination can have an impact on Earth-view imagery. A correction to the contamination can be derived from lunar imagery, and has been applied to Terra bands 27-30 in Collection 6.1. The same methodology can be applied across each affected band in both Aqua and Terra MODIS. We will assess the impact on Earth-view imagery for each of the remaining bands in Aqua and Terra MODIS.
2017
Meeting to discuss Terra and Aqua MODIS Land Reprocess - September 8, 2017
After MCST delivered C6.1 LUT for Aqua and Terra MODIS, meeting to discuss the L1B reprocess with representatives from Land, OBPG, LDOPE, deep-blue, and aerosols. Included discussion on cross-calibration and polarization correction.
