MISR Level 2 TOA/Cloud Albedo Data Version 1
Entry ID: MIL2TCAL1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The MISR Level 2 TOA/Cloud Albedo data product contains
top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation and cloud information, including
Reflecting Level Reference Altitude (RLRA), local albedo and
bidirectional reflectance factors, referenced to the RLRA, view
obscuration information, and texture indices, regional scence
classifiers, and coarse resolution restrictive and expansive albedos.
The RLRA corresponds to the main reflecting layer, which will
typically be the tops of bright clouds, or under atmospheric
conditions corresponfing to clear skies or thin cloud, it will be
located at the surface.
