Synthesizing Pseudo-Finer-Resolution MODIS Data Products

A document discusses a methodology for synthesizing finerresolution data products from outputs of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. Typical MODIS ocean color data have 1-km resolution, but those in five wavelength bands have 500-m resolution and those in two wavelength bands have 250-m resolution. Finer-resolution bio-optical-property data products improve our capability for monitoring coastal ocean and estuarine processes.
