MODIS Optical and Microphysical Properties (MOD06), Atmosphere Level-3 Products (MOD08), and Atmosphere Team Web site

The Cloud Retrieval Group at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has been responsible for the following activities: 1. Level-2 algorithm delivery, testing, analysis, and maintenance of the optical and microphysical retrieval component of MOD06. The product includes cloud thermodynamic phase, optical thickness, effective particle radius, and integrated water path. 2. The recent design and delivery of an Atmosphere Level-2 Joint Product (MODATML2, ~3 MB per daytime granule), containing a subset of MOD35, MOD04, MOD05, MOD06, and MOD07 science data sets, and with spatial subsetting of 1 km data sets.
