MISR L1B2 Terrain Product subset for the INTEX-B region V003

IXBMIB2T_3 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 1B2 Terrain Product subset for the INTEX-B region version 3. It contains Terrain-projected TOA Radiance, resampled at the surface and topographically corrected, and geometrically corrected by PGE22 for the region covered by the INTEXB_2006 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.
