Abstract
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is on the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua satellites. The MODIS geolocation approach operationally characterizes MODIS geolocation errors and enables individual MODIS observations to be geolocated to the sub-pixel accuracies required for terrestrial global change applications. An overview of the approach, results from both missions and future work are described.
