Summary

Abstract: This is the wide-swath MODIS/Aqua subset along CloudSat field of view track.
The goal of the wide-swath subset is to select and return MODIS data that are
within +-100 km across the CloudSat track. I.e. the resultant MODIS subset
swath is about 200 km cross-track. Thus, MAC03S1 cross-track width is 201
pixels. Along-track, all MODIS pixels from the original product are preserved.
