MODISaineisto

MODISaineisto refers to data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument. MODIS is a NASA instrument that was launched in 1999 as part of the Terra satellite and in 2000 as part of the Aqua satellite. It is a key instrument aboard both satellites, designed to observe the Earth's surface and atmosphere from polar orbit. MODIS measures reflected and emitted radiation across a wide range of wavelengths, from the visible to the thermal infrared. This allows it to gather information about a variety of Earth system components.

The data from MODIS is used in numerous scientific applications, including the study of global vegetation, cloud cover, sea surface temperature, snow and ice extent, and atmospheric aerosols. The instrument's broad spectral coverage and frequent revisits to Earth's surface provide a consistent and comprehensive dataset for monitoring changes over time. MODIS data is processed into various products, ranging in spatial resolution from 250 meters to 1 kilometer, and is made publicly available through NASA's Earth data archives. Its wide-ranging applications make MODISaineisto a valuable resource for climate research, environmental monitoring, and disaster management.
