Brief Instrument Description of the
MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS)
The MAS scanning spectrometer simultaneously collects 50 m spatial resolution radiometric data in 50 spectral bands: 0.45-1um (9 bands in port 1), 1.6-2.4um (16 bands in Port 2), 3.0-5.4um (16 bands in port 3), 8.3-14.5um (9 bands in port 4). Data swath is 37 km centered on nadir of ER-2 aircraft. Onboard blackbody sources are used for calibration of IR bands (port 3,4), laboratory calibration (typically before and after the experiment) is used for visible/NIR/SWIR bands (ports 1,2).
