Summary

Abstract: This is the MODIS/Aqua subset along MLS field of view track. The goal of the
subset is to select and return MODIS data that are within +-100 km across the
MLS track. I.e. the resultant MODIS subset swath is sought to be about 200 km
cross-track. However, the original MYD06_L2 has data of 5- and 1-km pixels.
Thus, MAM06S0 cross-track width is 41- and 201-pixels, depending on the
parameter. ...
