MERLIN
MERLIN was designed to provide a streamlined, intuitive data accessibility platform, to enable the comparison of an arbitrary number of fire plumes in various domains so users can generate key visualization graphics of a multitude of fire plume properties and to allow flexible cross-referencing with outside data sets.

MISR Browse Tool
The MISR Browse Tool allows easy access to images from the MISR instrument. The browse images are ellipsoid color images for each camera and are available at two different resolutions. The default resolution is 4.4km. The image is enlarged to a 2.2km resolution by selecting "Full Size" on the controls menu in the upper left corner of the Browse Tool. The MISR red, green and blue bands are used to create the color image, which has been intentionally clipped and gamma-stretched to make cloud, ocean and land features visible.

MISR Level 3 Data Browser
Visualization of select parameters available in the MISR Level 3 global data products are provided. The Level 3 products are derived from averaging select Level 1 and Level 2 parameters over daily, monthly, seasonal and annual time periods. Level 3 data contain a range of Level 1 and Level 2 versions.
