Abstract: Daily images of Terra and Aqua aerosol optical properties and cloud coverage over the AMAZE research site.
Cotnent: Sown are the MODIS/Terra and MODIS/Aqua level 1 radiance data and level 2 aerosol/cloud products over a 6 by 6 degree^2 area centered over the AMAZE research site (denoted as the pink circle in the image) since 10 Jan 2008. The visible image is at 500 m resolution. Aerosol optical depth, cloud optical depth, cloud effective radius, and cloud water path are retrieved at the spatial resolution of 10 km, 1km, 1km, and 1km, respectively. After 17 Jan 2008 also include images to show ice cloud properties only.
