What is MODIS Band Characteristics for Cloud Analysis about?
1. The MODIS instrument collects data in 36 spectral bands ranging from 0.4-14.4 μm. 2. Different combinations of band measurements can be used to detect various cloud and surface types like thick/thin clouds over dark land/vegetation/snow/water or cloud top pressure. 3. Thermal bands are used to calculate brightness temperature differences which help identify cloud phase and particle size. Reflective bands ratios like NDVI/NDSI assist in discerning surfaces under thin clouds.
