MISR Level 3 Cloud Top Height-Optical Depth Product covering a day V001

Published by NASA/JPL/MISR;NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: September 09, 2026 at 12:39 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 07, 2026

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 and 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. This file contains the public MISR Level 3 Cloud Top Height-Optical Depth Product covering a day.
