Summary

Abstract: The CAI Level 1B+ data carry the same Level 1B radiance data, but the geographical locations of the image pixels are corrected for the skewness caused by the topographical roughness of the ground surface and are projected onto a map of the earth via interpolation. A single data file of the CAI Level 1B and Level 1B+ data contains the radiance data obtained during 1/60 of an orbital revolution (defined as "one frame").
