Featured Atmospheric Winds Observation Method: MODIS
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flies aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites and surveys Earth every one to two days. The multi-spectral instrument can be used in a variety of ways including detecting winds in different levels of the atmosphere.
