Question: MODIS: Limitations of Visible Bands
Replies: 1

Re: MODIS: Limitations of Visible Bands

MODIS is an optical sensor, which has inherent limitations in observing sea ice and snow. Unlike a passive-microwave sensor, which can detect microwave energy through clouds, MODIS cannot observe the surface when cloud cover is present. MODIS products, therefore, have cloud masks built into the data...
