Description

The Multi-sensor Cloud and Aerosol Retrieval Simulator (MCARS) software produces synthetic radiance data from Goddard Earth Observing System version 5 (GEOS-5) model output as if the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was viewing a combination of atmospheric column inclusive of clouds, aerosols and a variety of gases  and land/ocean surface at a specific location.
