Summary
Abstract: This is the narrow-swath MODIS/Aqua subset along CloudSat field of view track.
The goal of the narrow-swath subset is to select and return MODIS data that are
within +-5 km across the CloudSat track. I.e. the resultant MODIS subset swath
is sought to be about 10 km cross-track. However, the original MYD07_L2 has
data of 5-km pixels. Thus, MAC07S0 cross-track width is 3-pixels, and the
resultant ... View entire text
