Potential Use of MODIS Satellite Data for Studying the Earth Environment

지구환경 연구를 위한 MODIS 위성자료의 활용 가능성

The Earth, along with its major components - land, atmosphere, and oceans, is at the core of the global environmental system. Changes in any component of the Earth thus strongly affect the global and regional environment. With the advent of the new century, many important decisions on agricultural, industrial, societal and political problems will depend upon the Earth's environment. Monitoring the Earth is thus important to capture any sign from the Earth which might be related to the environmental change. (omitted)
