• Cloud top pressure, temperature, effective emissivity
• 5 km spatial resolution, day & night
• CO2 Slicing technique (5 bands, 12.0-14.2 µm)
– most accurate for high and mid-level clouds
– technique previously applied to HIRS (NOAA
POES, 20 km)
MODIS 1st satellite sensor capable of
CO2 slicing at high spatial resolution
