These data come with 5km geolocation data but 1km water vapor data. Modis science team - why do you hate me?

What is done currently is that I downsample the water vapor data to get it on a 5km grid. A better solution would be to use the MOD03 geolocation files to get the 1 km lat/lon, and use the full resolution water vapor data.
