MODIS, MISR, and ASTER images in the Intercomparison of 3D Radiative Codes (I3RC) project
December 26, 2004 —
These images show the way three different instruments on board the Terra satellite viewed an approximately 60 km by 60 km area in South-Eastern Brazil on August 9, 2001. Each instrument has a different strength: one takes measurements at numerous waveleng . . . [continued]

The World In Fire
December 19, 2004 —
Fire activity varies from year to year. The images show significant enhancement of fire activity in 2003 relative to 2002 as detected by MODIS. Larger fire concentrations, covering larger regions, are observed (top . . . [continued]

Global Spectral Surface Albedo
December 12, 2004 —
An ecosystem-dependent temporal interpolation technique has been developed to fill missing or seasonally snow-covered data in the official MODIS surface albedo product from the Terra satellite. The method imposes pixel-level and local regional ecosystem- . . . [continued]

Retrieval of Rain Rate Over Tropical Oceans with TRMM Microwave Radiometer
December 5, 2004 —
This figure compares 3 methods of deriving rain rate on November 10, 2000 over a 300 kmX500 km region over the Tropical Western Pacific Ocean: a new method using the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI, left image), the TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR, middle image) . . . [continued]
