20200110-DO-NOT-USE-Test-Copy-NGDAID-98-ASTER L1A Reconstructed Unprocessed Instrument Data V003-DO-NOT-USE

Published by LP DAAC | Federal Geographic Data Committee | Catalog Last Checked: January 27, 2026 at 07:49 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 30, 2015
The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Level 1A (AST_L1A) contains reconstructed, instrument digital numbers (DNs) derived from the acquired telemetry streams of the telescopes: Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR), Shortwave Infrared (SWIR), and Thermal Infrared (TIR). Additionally, geometric correction coefficients and radiometric calibration coefficients are calculated and appended to the metadata, but not applied.
