The First Day In The Life of Aqua/MODIS
In its first day of operations, June 24, 2002, Aqua/MODIS observed significant Earth events occurring all over the globe. As Super Typhoon Chataan was rapidly approaching Japan, there was severe flooding in southeast Texas and a vast, thick pall of smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketed almost the entire U.S. East Coast. MODIS collected and beamed to Earth these images in very near real-time.

Depicts where the images are that Aqua-MODIS captured during its first day in operation.    Depicts where the images are that Aqua-MODIS captured during its first day in operation.
