Summary

Abstract: This is the narrow-swath MODIS/Aqua subset along CloudSat field of view track. The goal of the narrow-swath subset is to select and return MODIS data that are within +-5 km across the CloudSat track. I.e. the resultant MODIS subset swath is about 10 km cross-track. Thus, MAC021S0 cross-track width is 11 pixels for radiances. Geolocations in the original product, however, are subsampled at ...
