Moderate resolution imaging spectrometer-nadir (MODIS-N) - Progress 1988The paper describes progress made through 1987 in refining the required characteristics of the MODIS-N, which is one of two MODIS sensors being planned as a facility for the earth observing system. The MODIS-N will make it possible to observe new characteristics of the land and ocean surfaces and the troposphere at least once every three days over the entire globe for a decade following launch. Spatial resolutions of 1000 m or better are expected.
