MOD 05 - Total Precipitable Water
Description:
The MODIS Precipitable Water product (MOD 05)
consists of column water-vapor amounts. During the
daytime, a near-infrared algorithm is applied over
clear land areas of the globe and above clouds over
both land and ocean. Over clear ocean areas, watervapor
estimates are provided over the extended glint
area. An infrared algorithm for deriving atmospheric
profiles is also applied both day and night for Level
2.
The Level 2 data are generated at the 1-km spatial
resolution of the MODIS instrument using the nearinfrared
algorithm during the day, and at 5 � 5 1-km
pixel resolution both day and night using the infrared
algorithm when at least nine FOVs are cloud free.
