MISR Level 3 Component Global Radiance Product covering a month subset for the UAE region V005

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/terra/misr/uaemrmrd.005

UAEMRMRD_005 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 3 Component Global Radiance Product covering a month subset for the UAE region version 5.

Description

It contains a summary of spectral top-of-atmosphere Bidirectional Reflectance Factor for various subregion classifications and a summary of spectral expansive albedos for several sky classifications. This data product is a regional summary of the Level 1 radiance parameters of interest averaged over a month and reported on a geographic grid, with a resolution of 0.5 degree by 0.5 degree.

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 same 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 865 nm.

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.
