   MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. MODIS is capable of viewing the entire globe daily at moderate resolutions, ranging from 250 meters square to 1 kilometer square (about 0.5 square miles) pixels. With a sweeping 2,330-km-wide viewing swath, MODIS sees every point of our world every 1-2 days in 36 discrete spectral bands. These data improve our understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere.

  
   The images below combine several 8-Day composite periods and were produced in the form of posters using MODIS bands 1 (Red), 4 (Green), and 3 (Blue). Click on the global map below to see regional maps.
