Summary

Abstract: The MODIS Land Rapid Response system has been developed to provide rapid access to MODIS data globally, with initial emphasis on 250m color composite imagery and active fire data. This research and development system is a contribution to the rapid prototyping of NASA's Applications data and information systems, providing data and information in support of decision making. The system builds on the ...
