Abstract
With the December 1999 launch of the AM platform of the NASA Earth Observing System, Terra, new capabilities for detecting land, ocean, and atmospheric features have been introduced. This paper describes the Moderate resolution Spectroradiometer (MODIS), presents some examples of the new data and products, and details the enhanced detection and characterization of clouds. Early results are very good.
