The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) was successfully launched
into sun-synchronous polar orbit aboard Terra, NASA's first Earth Observing
System (EOS) spacecraft, on December 18, 1999. MISR measurements are designed
to improve our understanding of the Earth's environment and climate. Viewing
the sunlit Earth simultaneously at nine widely-spaced angles, MISR provides
radiometrically and geometrically calibrated images in four spectral bands at
each of the angles. Spatial sampling of 275 and 1100 meters is provided on a
global basis. The MISR FAQ and
Observation Concept have more details
about the MISR instrument. All MISR data products are available in HDF-EOS
format, and select products are available in netCDF format.
Globally gridded statistical summaries (daily, monthly, quarterly, and
yearly) of select Level 1 and Level 2 Radiances, Aerosol, Land/Surface, and
TOA Albedo parameters. Special regional products for select areas.
