MISR Level 1B2 Terrain Data V004

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-11
MI1B2T_004 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 1B2 Terrain Data Version 4 product. It contains Terrain-projected Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) Radiance, resampled at the surface, and topographically corrected and geometrically corrected by PGE22. Data collection for this product is ongoing.MISR is an instrument designed to view Earth with cameras pointed in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, each piece of Earth's surface below is successfully imaged by all nine cameras 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.
