Sample File

Cloud Optical Thickness - click for expanded view

A sample MOD06_L2 HDF file (67MB), a fully populated daytime granule, is available for download. This file was generated from MODIS data on August 10th, 2001. The granule covers an area over the Western Pacific Ocean near the Kamchatka Peninsula (0025 UTC on 10 August 2001). Extensive cloud cover over the Sea of Okhotsk is depicted, including mid-level and upper-level ice clouds, whereas the Bering Sea to the east of the Peninsula contains extensive marine stratocumulus clouds with numerous ship tracks in the southeastern portion of the image. This sample HDF data can be used for testing MODIS visualization and analysis software on your local platform.
