CERES-MISR Data

The CERES-MISR_MODIS SSF-SSFM data set integrates measurements from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES), the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The MISR Level 1B2 Ellipsoid and Terrain radiances from Collections 5 and 6 are identified with CERES Terra measurements reported in the Single Scanner Footprint (SSF) Edition2B product for days the CERES instruments (FM1 and FM2) are in along-track scanning mode. The scan and packet numbers unique to the CERES footprint provide the means to match the CERES and MISR data. The resulting data granule contains 2 files: an hour of instantaneous CERES SSF data which includes MODIS data and the matching CERES-MISR Single Scanner Footprint (SSFM) daytime measurements (solar zenith angle < 90 deg).

The CERES-MISR-MODIS SSF-SSFM data product is available in HDF format.
