MISR Level 3 Component Global Cloud Product covering a year V002

This file contains the public MISR Level 3 Component Global Cloud Product covering a year. MIL3YCLD_002 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 3 Component Global Cloud Product covering a year version 2. It is a global summary of the Level 1 and Level 2 cloud parameters of interest averaged over a year and reported on a geographic grid with a resolution of 0.5 degrees by 0.5 degrees. The MISR instrument consists of nine push-broom cameras that measure radiance in four spectral bands. Global coverage is achieved in nine days. The cameras are arranged with one camera pointing toward the nadir, four forward, and four aftward. It takes seven minutes for all nine cameras to view the exact surface location. The view angles relative to the surface reference ellipsoid are 0, 26.1, 45.6, 60.0, and 70.5 degrees. The spectral band shapes are nominally Gaussian, centered at 443, 555, 670, and 865nm.
