Abstract: The remote sensing technique is popularly used in the polar regions, and MODIS is one of the most important satellite sensors in the domain of remote sensing. Firstly, MODIS, including the information of its satellites, its system constitution, hardware characteristics, broad spectra range and usual application are briefly introduced. Then, it is the particular introduction of MODIS’s using in the polar regions, which refers to the polar physiognomy, polar atmosphere and polar ocean, with citing many exampl...

Key words: MODIS, polar regions, polar physiognomy, polar atmosphere, polar ocean
