MISR Level 2 TOA/Cloud Stereo parameters V002
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/terra/misr/mil2tcst_l2.002
MIL2TCST_002 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 2 Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA)/Cloud Stereo parameters Version 2 data product.
Description
It contains the Stereoscopically Derived Cloud Mask (SDCM), cloud winds, Reflecting Level Reference Altitude (RLRA), with associated data. Data collection for this product is ongoing.
Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) is designed to view Earth with cameras pointed in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, each piece of Earth's surface below is successfully imaged by all nine cameras in 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). The goal of MISR is to improve our understanding of the fate of sunlight in Earth's 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. MISR Level 2 TOA/Cloud Stereo parameters V002 contains the Stereoscopically Derived Cloud Mask (SDCM), cloud winds, and Reflecting Level Reference Altitude (RLRA), with associated data.
