2009-09-18 - MODIS Data Used To Study Air Pollution And Smoke in the City of Athens A recent study published in the journal Atmospheric Environment describes how data from three NASA instruments (the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, MODIS; the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer, MISR; and the Ozone Measuring Instrument, OMI) were used to analyze air quality in the city of Athens during the outbreak of severe fires in Greece in 2007.
