MAS Data

The MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) is an airborne scanning spectrometer that acquires high spatial resolution imagery of cloud and surface features from its vantage point on-board a NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft. The MAS data are associated with specific field experiments. Detailed information about the field campaign and other available data products can be found from the table below.
