Visualization of MODIS Images for Duty Forecasters

At FMI, a new receiving station for MODIS data from EOS satellites has been constructed in Northern Finland. The operational use should start in autumn 2003. This opens up new possibilities for the use of satellite images in Nowcasting because of better spectral and spatial resolution of MODIS compa...

Description
Summary:At FMI, a new receiving station for MODIS data from EOS satellites has been constructed in Northern Finland. The operational use should start in autumn 2003. This opens up new possibilities for the use of satellite images in Nowcasting because of better spectral and spatial resolution of MODIS compared to AVHRR.
