Example of Terra MODIS band 27 vs. Aqua MODIS band 27 for a warm surface.
MODIS L1B 1KM HDF files were obtained directly from LAADS. No destriping has been applied.

To reproduce the JPEGs in the images directory (assuming IDL is available in a Linux/Unix environment):

curl -O ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/gumley/terra27/terra27.tar.gz
tar zxvf terra27.tar.gz
export IDL_STARTUP=src/idl_startup.pro
idl terra.pro
idl aqua.pro
