Description

MI2AS_AEROSOL_NRT_001 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Near Real Time (NRT) Level 2 Aerosol parameters Version 1 product. It contains Aerosol optical depth and particle type, with associated atmospheric data. It is used for MISR Near Real Time processing, and is derived from session-based Level 1 input files. It is collected using the MISR instrument and its nine sensors on the Terra platform. Data collection for this product is ongoing.

As the instrument flies overhead, each piece of Earth's surface below is successively imaged by all 9 cameras, in each of 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). The goal of MISR is to improve our understanding of the fate of sunlight in Earth environment, as well as 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.
