MISR L2 Aerosol Product subset for the ICARTT region V002
CARMIAAE_002 is the MISR L2 Aerosol Product subset for the ICARTT region V002 product. It contains aerosol optical depth and particle type, with associated atmospheric data over the region covered by the ICARTT_2004 theme.MISR is designed to view Earth with cameras in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, all nine cameras successfully imaged each piece of Earth's surface below in 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). MISR aims to improve our understanding of the effects of sunlight on Earth and distinguish different types of clouds, particles, and surfaces. Specifically, MISR monitors the monthly, seasonal, and long-term trends in three areas: 1) amount and type of atmospheric particles (aerosols), including those formed by natural sources and by human activities; 2) amounts, types, and heights of clouds, and 3) distribution of land surface cover, including vegetation canopy structure.
