MISR L2 Aerosol Product subset for the RICO region V002

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC;NASA/JPL/MISR | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: May 18, 2026 at 03:24 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 11, 2026
RICMIAAE_002 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 2 Aerosol Product subset for the RICO region version 2. It contains Aerosol optical depth and particle type, with associated atmospheric data over the RICO region. The MISR instrument consists of nine push-broom cameras that measure radiance in four spectral bands. Global coverage is achieved in nine days. The cameras are arranged with one camera pointing toward the nadir, four forward, and four aftward. It takes seven minutes for all nine cameras to view the same surface location. The view angles relative to the surface reference ellipsoid are 0, 26.1, 45.6, 60.0, and 70.5 degrees. The spectral band shapes are nominally Gaussian, centered at 443, 555, 670, and 865 nm.
