Abstract: Data from bands 1-7 of the MODIS instrument are the most commonly utilised in near-real time terrestrial earth observation operations in Australia. However, experience within the Australian MODIS community over the last few years suggests that the operational use of data from MODIS bands 8-19 may provide significant benefit to Earth observation over the land surface of the Australian continent. Ongoing improvement in Earth observation over Australia has driven the development of automated, nationally connected, processing infrastructure for the atmospheric and BRDF correction of the first 19 bands of MODIS. This work has been facilitated by the AusCover project which is the remote sensing component of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), itself a national program designed to create a new generation of infrastructure for ecological study of the Australian

Operational remote sensing of tropospheric aerosol over land from EOS moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the EOS moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) using dark land targets to estimate the optical thickness and columnar mass concentration of the accumulation mode.

TL;DR: This algorithm relies on a joint retrieval of surface reflectance and aerosol/cloud optical thickness based on the inversion of a coupled surface-atmosphere radiative transfer model based on the inversion of a coupled surface-atmosphere radiative transfer model.

A comparison of algorithms for Near‐Real Time water vapour retrieval from MODIS
B. K. Mcatee,S. W. Maier +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three Near Infrared (NIR) algorithms for precipitable water (PW) retrieval from MODIS are compared to determine which is most suitable for use in an operational MODIS-based process for the atmospheric correction of spectral reflectance data.

TL;DR: In this article, three methods of AOD retrieval are investigated for accuracy and suitability for the surface conditions found in Western Australia, two of these methods are NASA produced institutional algorithms, denoted MOD04 and MOD09, and the final method is under development by SRSS and Curtin University.
