Shortwave radiation data on a spinning globe, unwrapping to a flat plane.   1144   Spinning Global Shortwave from CERES
Longwave radiation data on a spinning globe, unwrapping to a flat plane.   1143   Spinning Global Longwave from CERES
Shortwave radiation data on a globe, unwrapping to a flat plane.   1142   Shortwave from CERES Unwrapped
Shortwave radiation dataset shown on a globe.   1141   Global Shortwave from CERES
Longwave Radiation on a globe, unwrapping to a flat plane.   1140   Longwave Radiation from CERES Unwrapped
Longwave Radiation dataset on a spinning globe.   1139   Global Longwave from CERES
Rotating globe showing (in order) CERES radiative flux, MODIS surface reflectance, zooming down to the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, CERES shortwave (albedo), and MISR data showing the dust cloud.   1138   CERES to MISR Sequence

Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a globe, which then unwraps to a cartesian projection and zooms into the African Sahel, fading to data of fires from biomass burning from the VIRS instrument on TRMM.  High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period.   1135   MOPITT Globe Unwrap with Zoom into TRMM Fire Data
Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a globe, which then unwraps to a cartesian projection.  High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period.   1134   MOPITT Globe Unwrap
Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a rotating globe.  High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period.   1133   MOPITT Globe
This visualization was made to demonstrate a technique developed by scientists to remove clouds from data images by using cloud data. Initially, you will see a portion of South America with the clouds obstructing the view, then fades to a mask to mask out the clouds, and then removes the clouds from the view, leaving the view of South America unobstructed.   1132   South American Cirrus Clouds
This visualization was made to demonstrate a technique developed by scientists to remove clouds from data images by using cloud data.  Initially, you will see the Larsen Ice Shelf with the clouds obstructing the view, then fades to a mask to mask out the clouds, and then removes the clouds from the view, leaving the Larsen Ice Shelf unobstructed.   1131   Larsen Clouds
MODIS provides new capabilities for measuring the properties of clouds.  The sensor measures how much of the globe is covered by clouds, identifies various cloud types, and even enables scientists to determine the sizes of the particles that make up clouds. This latter measurement allows scientists to distinguish clouds made of water droplets from those made of ice crystals, and from those made of snow flakes. In this image, the blue clouds are ice clouds, pink indicates snow clouds, and green shows water clouds.   1128   Cloud Optical Thickness Effective Particle Radius
MODIS provides frequent (every 1-2 days) global views of the Earth. This image shows a true-color land surface and a false color sea surface temperature map (red and yellow are warmer, blues are cooler).   1126   Global Sea Surface Temperature and MODIS
A rotating globe displaying Sea Surface Temperature and NDVI data.   1125   Global Sea Surface Temperature and NDVI
A globe of Sea Surface Temperature data without land.   1124   Global Sea Surface Temperature Without Land
A rotating globe displaying NDVI data.   1123   Global Vegetation Index
Looking at the Chesapeake Bay, a side by side comparision of data collected by the AVHRR and MODIS instruments.   1122   A Comparison of MODIS with AVHRR
Global Surface Reflectance (MODIS)   1121   Global Surface Reflectance (MODIS)
