ASTER and MODIS Land Data Management at the Land Processes, and National Snow and Ice Data Centers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Land Remote Sensing and Global Environmental Change

Part of the book series: Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing ((RDIP,volume 11))

Abstract

Chapters 4 and 5 provide a variety of examples of how ASTER and MODIS land science applications are predicated on the availability of consistent and quality data. This chapter portrays a narrative of how those data come to exist at two different data centers, which manage them.
