Abstract :
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) provided pseudooperational satellite imagery support to Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This paper highlights some of the high quality products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) that were developed in response to user-defined needs, and measures taken to host the imagery upon the Satellite Focus Web Page generally within 2.5 hours of data collection.
