Data Product Specification Rev K.

Initiated orbit-to-orbit propagation of navigation corrections for the D-aft camera. Two bugs were fixed in Local Mode processing, involving oceanic island site failures and rare missing bands. The format version was incremented because of an overlooked change to NIR fieldnames in the version 0020 products. A new suite of ARP INFLT_CAL files containing a change to the MISR band-to-band calibration is in use.
 
F03_0021 12/08/2003 Version F03_0021 has been removed from the archive because it contained radiometric errors.
Do not use!
 
F02_0020 09/24/2003

Data Product Specification Rev J.

Not a software Delivery. Config file update. The Orbit Quality flag in the GRP_TERRAIN product now accurately reflects degradations in registration due to spacecraft maneuvers.

New ancillary files:
  • GRP_CONFIG_F08_07
 
F02_0019 08/13/2003

Data Product Specification Rev J.

Improved DPREP orbit input data used, and orbit quality indicator is now based on DPREP QA. Expanded format of TRP (Transform Parameter) files to support new PGE6 Local Mode L1B2 data processing. Added ProductVersion Attribute to metadata of all products.

New ancillary files:
  • GRP_CONFIG_F08_06
  • RP_CONFIG_F02_04
  • FM_SCI_CONFIG_F01_05
  • RCCM_CONFIG_F02_02
  • Stage 1 Validated: (LM=Local Mode) GRP_TERRAIN_LM, GRP_ELLLIPSOID_LM
F02_0018 04/02/2003

Data Product Specification Rev I.

Added the Transform Parameters (TRP) diagnostic output with ICC information only. Improved utility of Geometric Data Quality Indicator (GDQI).

New ancillary files:
  • GRP_CONFIG_F07_04
 
F02_0017 12/27/2002

Data Product Specification Rev G.

Transparent robustness upgrade, and a small change to RCCM logic.

New ancillary files:
  • GRP_CONFIG_F06_03
 
F02_0016 11/12/2002

Data Product Specification Rev G.

L0 data is pre-scanned to remove time errors and gaps. PSF (Point Spread Function Deconvolution) is performed in L1B1 to reduce the effects of scattering in the MISR filters. L1B2 files contain new parameters to support conversions of radiance to BRF. They also contain a new QA flag which warns users when the Terra orbit data is unreliable. The RCCM product benefits from the use of seasonal baseline RCCT inputs derived from MISR data.

New ancillary files:
  • GRP_CONFIG_F05_02
  • RP_CONFIG_F02_03
  • ARP_CONFIG_F03_0003
  • ARP_PRFLTCAL_F02_0005
  • RCCT_T9xx
  • Stage 1 Validated: RCCM-ocean
  • Provisional: RCCM-vegetated land
F01_0015 10/24/2002

Data Product Specification Rev E.

No software change. The Reference Orbit Imagery (ROI) datasets and the linear, off-axis-corrected Ancillary Radiometric Product are now being used by PGE1 in the production chain.

New ancillary files:
  • ROI_F02_02
 
F01_0014 07/31/2002

Data Product Specification Rev E.

Robustness fixes, including L1B1 Local Mode sitename and AN data, as well as Band-to-Band transform fix. ROI Image Matching improvements to blunder detection algorithm and to Image Coordinate Correction.

  • Provisional: RCCM-ocean
F01_0012 04/15/2002

Data Product Specification Rev E.
