How do I determine which MODIS atmospheric product to order?
You first must decide whether global L3 summaries at 1 degree resolution will meet your needs. If so, you will find all MODIS Atmosphere parameters together in single daily (MOD08_D3/MYD08_D3), 8-day (MOD08_E3/MYD08_E3) or monthly (MOD08_M3/MYD08_M3) product files. However, you do have the option of ordering via LAADS Web a subset of one of these files containing only the parameters you select. If you decide to order higher resolution Atmospheric L2 products, please consult the Atmospheric Products Guide for more detailed product information.
