Animation showing multiple data sets from Terra 1118 Terra First Light Visualizations: North America 1:00:22:00  -   1:04:26:00
Pan down the MODIS first light image 1119 First Light Image from MODIS (first draft) 1:04:26:00  -   1:05:51:00
Pan down the MODIS first light image 1120 First Light Image from MODIS (second draft) 1:05:51:00  -   1:09:41:00
Global Surface Reflectance (MODIS) 1121 Global Surface Reflectance (MODIS) 1:09:41:00  -   1:11:00:00
Looking at the Chesapeake Bay, a side by side comparision of data collected by the AVHRR and MODIS instruments. 1122 A Comparison of MODIS with AVHRR 1:11:00:00  -   1:11:57:00
A rotating globe displaying NDVI data. 1123 Global Vegetation Index 1:11:57:00  -   1:13:16:00
A globe of Sea Surface Temperature data without land. 1124 Global Sea Surface Temperature Without Land 1:13:16:00  -   1:14:34:00
A rotating globe displaying Sea Surface Temperature and NDVI data. 1125 Global Sea Surface Temperature and NDVI 1:14:34:00  -   1:15:53:00
MODIS provides frequent (every 1-2 days) global views of the Earth. This image shows a true-color land surface and a false color sea surface temperature map (red and yellow are warmer, blues are cooler). 1126 Global Sea Surface Temperature and MODIS 1:15:53:00  -   1:17:11:00
IndoEX Chlorophyll Levels 1127 Chlorophyll in the Bay of Bengal with Fluorescence 1:17:11:00  -   1:18:09:00
MODIS provides new capabilities for measuring the properties of clouds. The sensor measures how much of the globe is covered by clouds, identifies various cloud types, and even enables scientists to determine the sizes of the particles that make up clouds. This latter measurement allows scientists to distinguish clouds made of water droplets from those made of ice crystals, and from those made of snow flakes. In this image, the blue clouds are ice clouds, pink indicates snow clouds, and green shows water clouds. 1128 Cloud Optical Thickness Effective Particle Radius 1:18:09:00  -   1:18:59:00
IndoEX Aerosols 1129 Focus on INDOEX (First Version) 1:18:59:00  -   1:20:10:00
IndoEX Surface Reflectance 1130 Terra: Focus on INDOEX (Second Version) 1:20:10:00  -   1:21:55:00
This visualization was made to demonstrate a technique developed by scientists to remove clouds from data images by using cloud data. Initially, you will see the Larsen Ice Shelf with the clouds obstructing the view, then fades to a mask to mask out the clouds, and then removes the clouds from the view, leaving the Larsen Ice Shelf unobstructed. 1131 Larsen Clouds 1:21:55:00  -   1:22:39:00
This visualization was made to demonstrate a technique developed by scientists to remove clouds from data images by using cloud data. Initially, you will see a portion of South America with the clouds obstructing the view, then fades to a mask to mask out the clouds, and then removes the clouds from the view, leaving the view of South America unobstructed. 1132 South American Cirrus Clouds 1:22:39:00  -   1:23:24:00
Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a rotating globe. High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period. 1133 MOPITT Globe 1:23:24:00  -   1:25:23:00
Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a globe, which then unwraps to a cartesian projection. High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period. 1134 MOPITT Globe Unwrap 1:24:42:00  -   1:25:23:00
Global carbon monoxide as measured by MOPITT from March 5, 2000 to March 7, 2000 is shown on a globe, which then unwraps to a cartesian projection and zooms into the African Sahel, fading to data of fires from biomass burning from the VIRS instrument on TRMM. High values of carbon monoxide are shown in red and yellow, and the large areas of missing data in white are regions not seen by MOPITT during this three-day period. 1135 MOPITT Globe Unwrap with Zoom into TRMM Fire Data 1:25:23:00  -   1:26:22:00
Spinning globe showing CERES data 1136 CERES Globe 1:26:22:00  -   1:27:34:00
A flat projection of CERES data 1137 CERES Flat Map 1:27:34:00  -   1:28:15:00
Rotating globe showing (in order) CERES radiative flux, MODIS surface reflectance, zooming down to the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, CERES shortwave (albedo), and MISR data showing the dust cloud. 1138 CERES to MISR Sequence 1:28:15:00  -   1:29:40:00

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered. General information on this service can be found here.
