    • MODIS Aqua L2 chopped blocks (block size: 128 pixels x 128 pixels, daytime) V001 (MYD_L2_CB) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: December 7, 2023

    This product is composed of a beta version for a product from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) on board the Aqua satellite.

    MODIS Aqua L2 chopped blocks (CB) are part of our global MODIS Aqua data from the 2017 MEaSUREs project, A Comprehensive Data Record of Marine Low-level and Deep Convective Cloud Systems Using an Object-Oriented Approach.

    These data are individual MODIS Aqua granules chopped into small blocks in shape (np_x, np_y), where np_x = 128 pixels and np_y = 128 pixels. This file provides the geolocations of all the chopped blocks in the MODIS Aqua granule data. Only daytime granule data are included and blocks with sensor zenith angle > 45 degrees are excluded. The geolocations for each block consist of five latitude and longitude pairs for its four corners and center with a low cloud flag that indicates whether the chopped block is or is not low cloud dominated.
