Why do the dates for some of the MODIS images on GloVis not correspond with imagery for the same date provided through the MODIS Rapid Response System?
The data from the Rapid Response System (rapidfire) site are daily data collections. The MODIS products on GloVis are a collection of both daily and composite products.Refer to the About Browse page for a description of which datasets are daily and which are composites. As the daily data and multi-day composites are different products, they won’t look the same and the dates won’t be the same. The date that appears in the Scene Information field for daily data is the acquisition date, but for multi-day composites it is the first date of the collection period.
