Grids & Mapping

Product Grid 

The MODIS Atmosphere Profile (07_L2) product contains data that has a spatial resolution (pixel size) of 5 x 5 kilometers (at nadir). Each 07_L2 product file covers a five-minute time interval (based on the start time of each MODIS Level-1B granule), which means the 07_L2 output grid is 270 5-km pixels in width and 406 5-km pixels in length for nine consecutive granules. Every tenth granule has an output grid size of 270 by 408 pixels.
