MISR Level 2 Land Surface Product subset for the GoMACCS region V002

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC;NASA/JPL/MISR | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
GOMI2LS_002 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 2 Land Surface Product subset for the GoMACCS region Version 2 product. It contains information on land directional reflectance properties, albedos (spectral and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) integrated), a fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR), associated radiation parameters, and terrain-referenced geometric parameters. MISR is designed to view Earth with cameras in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, all nine cameras successfully imaged each piece of Earth's surface below in 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). MISR aims to improve our understanding of the effects of sunlight on Earth 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.
