MOD 06 - Cloud Product
Description:
The MODIS Cloud Product combines infrared and visible techniques to determine physi-cal and radiative cloud properties. Cloud particle phase, effective radius, cloud optical thickness, and cloud integrated water path are derived at 1-km pixel resolution using the MODIS visible, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared bands. Cloud top temperature, cloud top pressure, effective emissivity, and cloud particle phase are produced by infrared retrieval methods both day and night at 5 × 5 1-km-pixel resolution. Finally, the MODIS Cloud Product includes cirrus reflectance in the visible at 1-km pixel resolution, useful for removing cirrus scattering effects from the land surface reflectance product.
