Featured Soils Observation Method: MODIS
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua and Terra platforms continually collects global data approximately every two days. One MODIS product, normalized vegetation difference index data, can be used to predict how much carbon dioxide is emitted from soils, which is major component of the global carbon cycle. Carbon is released in the process called soil respiration and driven by the decomposition of surface litter through microbial activity.

From MODIS to VIIRS: Continuing the Legacy

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) will help ensure continuity of Earth observations after the upcoming retirement of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
