MISR Geometric Parameters subset for the INTEX-B region V002

IXBMIGEO_2 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Geometric Parameters subset for the INTEX-B region version 2. It contains the Geometric Parameters that measure the sun and view angles at the reference ellipsoid 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.
