MODIS Terra and Aqua Monthly Level-3 Data
Atmosphere Monthly Global 1X1 Degree Products
Home
This interface is designed for visualization and analysis of the Atmosphere Monthly Global Products. Users can generate plots or ASCII Output for Lat-Lon Map, Time Series, Hovmoller diagram, Scatter Plot, and Correlation Map. Animation is available for Lat-Lon Maps. The MODIS Science Team recommends MODIS Collection 5 (005) or 5.1 (051) data be used for scientific investigations. Collection 5.1 will eventually replace Coll. 5, but is not yet available for Terra.

Notes:
'Analyis Options' allow you to visualize of the following analysis (or data) types:
Parameter:
original data of the selected parameter
Climatology:
pre-generated monthly climatology of the selected parameter(s). To discover how the climatology was created, click the 'Climatology Info' button to display the climatology column in the parameter table below, then click on the climatology product link.
Note
that all of the climatology products are
pre-generated
.
Anomaly:
monthly anomaly of the selected parameter(s):
Xa ( i ) = X (i ) - Xm ( i )
where:
i
denotes month (1, 2, ... , 12),
Xa(i)
represents the anomaly data for the month
i
,
X(i)
is the original data of the month
i
,
Xm(i)
is the monthly climatology data for the month
i
.
Note:
Time or spatial averages are performed on the anomaly data. For example, when time average is performed, such as service: Lat-Lon map, Time-averaged, the system calculates monthly anomaly first and averages the monthly anomalies for each grid point. Similarly, when spatial average is needed, such as time series plot, the system calculates monthly anomaly first and then do spatial average for each month.
Parameters that do not have associated climatology are disabled (you won't be able to select them) when either the climatology or anomaly analysis is selected
You must select a parameter (left-most column checkbox in the tables below) in order for its climatology or anomaly to be plotted.
