An operational MODIS processing scheme for PC dedicated to direct broadcasting applications in meteorology and earth sciences

摘要

MOPS is part of the Marburg Satellite Station data processing scheme and is designed for an operational pre-, product- and post-processing of MODIS data on both Linux and MS-Windows PCs. Currently, the product package consists of the standard MODIS cloud mask and two different cloud property retrievals that are not part of the NASA product algorithms. Additional products will be available in the near future. Thereby, the modular architecture ensures a straightforward integration for own and third party algorithms because new modules have to be registered only within the MOPSControl module. MOPS is available from the LCRS (info@.lcrs.de).
