HQ applauds accomplishments of the MODIS Team to dat

- MODIS Instrument Team leadership in developing+ dclata productsalgorithms-Team Discipline Groups have opportunity to

examine currently-approved Key Products

- Effort in modeling stray lightin MODIS and SeaWiFSand assessment of solutionsin collaboration with industry

- Work toward resolving EOS instrumentsdata processing requirements. ~- MODIS data processing streamlining:

7 GFLOPS(MISR is 10 GFLOPS)

- MODIS LANDgroup progress in planninga ground validation programin conjunction with the NSF LTER(Long-Term Ecological Research) program.u.

,

Investment of effort and resources of theMODIS OCEANgroup in:- implementing a field calibration schem- designing software for implementation

atmospheric and in-water algorithms

- MODIS OCEANgroup will be invited toparticipate ,in EOS Color Team

Airborne programs:(ASAS, AVIRIS, M~DIS Simulator, etc.)

Airborne sensors involve significant acquisition costsbeyond the user fees for aircraft hours. But neither tkEOS Project nor EOS PI’s have well defined budgetplans for these costs.

EOS PIs seem to have three options:a. Coordinate within MODIS subgroups and across other

EOS activitiesb. Coordinate with Core Program (R&A) to share costsc. Don’t use data from airborne sensors

MODIS Team needs to plan a strategy for covering costsassociated with airborne missions if they are deemednecessary and are requested.

,!

,,

MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS):- Populari~ of the MAS is increasing, but it is not cleaif these potential users understand MAS performanceand capabilities. Clearly, the MAS does not replicatethe capabilities of MODIS. The team needs to docume:MAS specs/characteristics, and cost for the generalpublic.Also, what are the tradeoffs of this instrument vs. anAVIRIS, for example.

AS HQis flooded with requests, this information isviewed as very necessa~

Budgets: Currently all is on track for anthrough year 2,000.- All budget matters are handled viaVince Solomonson’s offices at GSFC.
