Info created by the NASA MODIS science team - uploaded & nominated by Originalwana (talk) 10:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)- Info MODIS' instruments are designed to provide measurements in large-scale global dynamics including changes in Earth's cloud cover, radiation budget and processes occurring in the oceans, on land, and in the lower atmosphere.
Support As nominator Originalwana (talk) 10:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)- Support. Its beauty and comprehensiveness outweigh the distortion at high latitudes and defects from incomplete MODIS coverage (which also seem to be mainly at fairly high southern latitudes, although there's a long fuzzy strip running north from Darwin). -- Avenue (talk) 12:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - For the moment. Relevant information is missing necessary for understanding what this picture really is. For example: are all photograms approximately synchronous? What is the date? What is the map projection (is it equal-area)? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- I've added the date the MODIS images were collected to our description page. The description on the source website is not very detailed, and doesn't give the map projection. But it's definitely not equal-area; look at Greenland and Antarctica, for instance. -- Avenue (talk) 17:11, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Seems like equirectangular projection to me. G.A.S 04:37, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
