Summary:The methodology used to store a number of the Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land products is described. The
approach has several advantages over conventional approaches used to
store remotely sensed data sets and may be applied to any remote sensing
data set where the observations are geolocated to sub-pixel accuracy.
The methodology will enable new algorithms to be more accurately
developed because important information about the intersection between
the sensor observations and the output grid cells are preserved. The
methodology will satisfy the needs of the MODIS land product generation
algorithms; will allow sophisticated users to develop their own
application specific MODIS land data sets; and will enable efficient
processing and reprocessing of MODIS land products
