2000 – MAPSS initiated to validate MODIS aerosol products at discrete sites

• 2000 – MAPSS initiated to validate MODIS aerosol products at discrete sites

• First, MODIS subsetted over ground sites (mostly AERONET), and MAPSS was:

• MODIS Aerosol Products Subset Statistics

• Then, MODIS water vapor team requests their data added, and it became:

• MODIS Atmospheric Parameters Subset Statistics

• Then, AERONET data were subsetted as well, and it became:

• MODIS Aerosol and Associated Parameters Spatio-Temporal Statistics

• 2006 ROSES-EOS Funding to Continue Maintenance (PI: Lorraine Remer)

• 2007 ROSES-ACCESS Funding to add Data from other Satellite Sensors

• 2010 – Finally Aerosol Products from other sensors have joined, and it is now:

• Multi-sensor Aerosol Products Sampling System

• 2009 – ROSES-ACCESS Funding To Develop Statistical Analysis Tools:

• Enter Sister Project: AeroStat (PI: Greg Leptoukh)

Aerosol data are available from different sensors

• Aerosol data are available from different sensors

• MODIS
• MISR
• OMI
• POLDER
• CALIOP
• AERONET

• Hard to compare and inter-validate

• Different spatial and temporal resolution
• Different data access strategies
