Hola Carolina,

I apologize for my _very_ late reply to your inquiry!

Looking back through questions in our inquiry tracking system, I found something
that suggests that the MS2GT package:

http://nsidc.org/data/modis/ms2gt/

may do bow tie corrections for MODIS data.

The other package that should include corrections for the bow tie effect in
MODIS imager is IMAPP:

International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package
http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/imapp/

If you have McIDAS, there is a test routine that is available for MODIS bow tie
corrections.  It is not very usable outside of McIDAS, however, so you will need
to run McIDAS to use it.

> Best regards and thanks for your time

I am curious about what your affiliation is.  Is SAF associated with a 
university
or is it private or governmental?

Again, I apologize for the lateness of my reply!

Cheers,

Tom
