CERES to MISR Sequence
CERES stands for Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System. More information about CERES can be found at (http://terra.nasa.gov/Brochure/Sect_4-3.html) and (http://ceres.larc.nasa.gov/ceres_brochure.php).
Rotating globe showing (in order) CERES radiative flux, MODIS surface reflectance, zooming down to the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, CERES shortwave (albedo), and MISR data showing the dust cloud.
MODIS true color Earth.
