TL;DR: The proposed MODIS standard products for land applications are described along with the current plans for data quality assessment and product validation.

TL;DR: Initial comparisons with ground-based optical thickness measurements and simultaneously acquired MODIS imagery indicate comparable uncertainty in Landsat surface reflectance compared to the standard MODIS reflectance product.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a summary of the MODIS instrument performance and status, the data production system, the products, their status and availability for land studies, and a partnership between Science Team members and MODIS Science Data Support Team is producing data sets of unprecedented volume and number for the land research and applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a spatial analysis to assess the urban heat island (UHI) skin temperature amplitude and its relationship to development intensity, size, and ecological setting for 38 of the most populous cities in the continental United States.

TL;DR: In this article, a global network of ground control points is used to determine biases and trends in the sensor orientation for geolocation of MODIS data to approximately 150 m (1r) at nadir.
