Abstract
The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument is schedul ed for launch aboard the first of the Earth Observing System (EOS) spa cecraft, EOS-AM1. MISR will provide global, radiometrically calibrated , georectified, and spatially coregistered imagery at nine discrete vi ewing angles and four visible/near-infrared spectral bands. Algorithms specifically developed to capitalize on this measurement strategy wil l be used to retrieve geophysical products for studies of clouds, aero sols, and surface radiation. This paper provides an overview of the as -built instrument characteristics and the application of MISR to remot e sensing of the earth.
