Abstract:
The NASA Langley Research Center Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) MISR teams announce the release of a new and innovative tool for ordering and customizing MISR data products.
This new MISR Order and Customization Tool provides a simple and intuitive interface to search and customize MISR data products. The new interface provides capabilities ... which enhance the ease of data usage. Tool functionality includes: * Search by date or orbit * Search via geographical map, latitude/longitude coordinates or path * Search for specific camera(s) * Limit search results to latest file version * Sort search results by date, path, orbit, camera, or file version * Subset data by parameter * Subset data via geographical map, latitude/longitude coordinates or block * Add applicable latitude/longitude layers * Unpack and unscale data values * Output data in original or conventional HDF-EOS formats
The Tool was tested on Windows 2000, XP (IE 6, Netscape 8 and 7.2, Firefox 1.5, Opera 8.5, and Mozilla 1.7), Mac OS X (Netscape 7.2), and Linux (Mozilla and Firefox).
To provide you with ever-improving service and to ensure we are meeting your data ordering needs, we encourage comments and suggestions on the new MISR Ordering and Customization Tool.
Description:
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 instrument orbits the Earth about 15 times each day. There are 233 distinct orbits which are repeated every 16 days. These 233 repeating orbits are called paths,and since the paths overlap, near global coverage is obtained in 9 days
The MISR data products are available in HDF-EOS format.
