Exploring the differences in cloud properties observed by the Terra and Aqua MODIS Sensors

Exploring the differences in cloud properties observed by the Terra and Aqua MODIS Sensors

The aerosol-cloud interaction in different parts of the globe is examined here using multi-year statistics of remotely sensed data from two MODIS sensors aboard NASA's <i>Terra</i> (morning) and <i>Aqua</i> (afternoon) satellites. Simu...
