Abstract
Terra MODIS is one of the few space-borne sensors currently capable of acquiring radiometric data over the range of view angles. Institute of Industrial Science (ITS), University of Tokyo, has been receiving Terra MODIS data at the Komaba Campus station and at Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok on direct broadcasting system since May 2001. The coverage includes whole East and South Asia and is expected to monitor environmental changes regularly such as deforestation, forest fires, floods and typhoon. Over eight hundred scenes have been archived in the storage system and they occupy 2 TB of disk space so far. In this study, MODIS data processing system on WWW is developed including following functions : spectral subset (250m, 500m and 1000m resolutions), radiometric correction to radiance, spatial subset of geo-referenced data as a rectangular area with latitude-longitude grid system in HDF format and generation of a quick look file in JPEG format. Users will be notified via e-mail just after all the processes have finished. Using this system enables us to process MODIS data on WWW with a few input parameters and download the processed data by FTP access. An easy to use interface is expected to promote the use of MODIS data. This system has been available via the Internet on the following URL since September 1 2002, “http: //webmodis.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/”.
