Popis: In this study, AVHRR and MODIS data online processing and distribution system for the monitoring of environment and disaster over Asia are introduced and demonstrate the usefulness of this system. IIS, University of Tokyo, has been receiving AVHRR data at Tokyo since 1984 and MODIS since 2001. AIT at Bangkok in Thailand has been receiving AVHRR data since 1997 and MODIS since 2001. Cloud-free 10-day composite over Asian region are available via the FTP and quicklook service for all the data are available on data storage system. An easy to use interface is expected to promote the use of AVHRR and MODIS data. Finally we discuss the role of IIS as a data archiving and distribution of satellite remote sensing data in a wide range of perspective.
