Description

RICMIB2E_002 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 1B2 Ellipsoid Product subset for the RICO region version 2. It contains the ellipsoid projected TOA Radiance over the RICO region, resampled to WGS84 ellipsoid corrected and it requires the radiances from all 9 cameras of MISR to be projected to a surface defined by the reference WGS84 ellipsoid. It is on this surface camera-to-camera stereo matching will be performed to determine cloud altitude. Topographic distortions are removed. Corrections due to errors in the supplied Navigation and attitude data are obtained during Terrain-projected parameter processing and are applied to these parameters.
