Proxy ABI Data Sets For CompressionContents:
Bit-depth simulated ABI compression study data sets:The data files are provided as Matlab .mat files on an ftp site. There is a separate .mat file for each ABI band, the navigation data, and the lookup tables to convert the scaled radiances (integers) to real radiances (modis radiances units). There is also a data file that contains all of the bands and navigation data (you still need the lookup tables). The 1.6 µm band on Aqua MODIS has a number of bad detectors which cause striping. This corresponds to band 05 on ABI. As such, for Aqua daytime cases, there is no ABI band 05 data provided since the striping would alter compression results in a way not anticipated to occur with ABI. That band is still provided for cases derived from Terra MODIS. Aqua MODIS data files begin with "MYD"; Terra MODIS data files begin with "MOD". There is a sample Matlab .m script that shows how to load the data and will display an image of a band of interest for that case. You must have the mapping toolbox for Matlab for the figure to display or find another way to display the data. This m-file calls another m-file which converts MODIS radiances to brightness temperatures for the purposes of displaying. Strictly speaking, these m-files aren't needed for compression studies though they may give you some insight as to what data is stored in what files.
