Description:

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Aqua has been in operation providing continuous global observations for science research and applications since 2002. The long-term stability of thermal emissive bands (TEBs) of Aqua MODIS was monitored through inter-comparisons with measurements by hyperspectral or multi-spectral infrared sensors or through vicarious monitoring over cold targets such as Dome-C and deep convective clouds. The radiative transfer modeling (RTM)-based simulation models are developed to perform the long-term monitoring of the stability of Aqua MODIS TEBs. Long-term European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts global atmospheric reanalysis data are used as inputs to the RTM simulation.
