MISR Geometric Parameters subset for the GoMACCS region V002
Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (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 successively imaged by all 9 cameras, in each of 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). The goal of MISR is to improve our understanding of the fate of sunlight in Earth environment, as well as 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. MISR Geometric Parameters subset for the GoMACCS region V002 contains the Geometric Parameters which measure the sun and view angles at the reference ellipsoid.

Collection Information
-
Purpose
MISR Level 1B2 Geometric Parameters are needed by all MISR Level 2 science algorithms for several types of retrievals. This dataset supplies the sun and view angles on the reference WGS84 ellipsoid relative to a normal to that surface, as well as azimuth angles relative to local north. The sun zenith and azimuth angles are determined from Earth and Sun ephemerides at the time of viewing. The view zenith and azimuth angles are based upon the reported spacecraft attitude and position. -
