	MISR: Mission: Instrument: Spatial Resolution
		The intrinsic crosstrack dimensions of the MISR pixels was therefore chosen to be 275 meters at all off-nadir angles.
		The time between acquisition of successive lines of MISR data (the line repeat time) is the same for all cameras, with an average of 275 meters of downtrack displacement.
		MISR is capable of taking image data in two different spatial resolution modes.

	MISR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MISR consists of an innovative configuration of nine separate digital cameras that gather data in four different areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.
		The data gathered by MISR is considered useful in climatological studies concerning solar radiation flux in the Earth's biosphere.
		MISR is specifically designed to monitor the monthly, seasonal, and long-term trends of atmospheric aerosol particle concentrations including those formed by natural sources and by human activities, cloud cover, and the distribution of land surface cover, including vegetation canopy structure.

	TERRA: About MISR
		To fully understand Earth's climate, and to determine how it may be changing, we need to know the amount of sunlight that is scattered in different directions under natural conditions.
		MISR is a new type of instrument designed to address this need — it will view the Earth with cameras pointed at nine different angles.
		As the instrument flies overhead, each region of the Earth's surface is successively imaged by all nine cameras in each of four wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared).

	MISR Frequently Asked Questions
		MISR provides new types of information for scientists studying Earth's climate, such as the partitioning of energy and carbon between the land surface and the atmosphere, and the regional and global impacts of different types of atmospheric particles and clouds on climate.
		MISR acquires systematic multi-angle imagery for global monitoring of top-of-atmosphere and surface albedos and to measure the shortwave radiative properties of aerosols, clouds, and surface scenes in order to characterize their impact on the Earth's climate.
		MISR Level 1B2 data products use various high data values to signify fill, and one of the fill values (16377) in the 14 MSB's of the scaled radiances signifies that this location on the SOM grid was obscured from the camera's view by intervening topography.

		MISR provides a unique opportunity for studying the ecology and climate of the Earth through the acquisition of the global multiangle imagery on the daylight side of the Earth.
		The instrument uses nine individual charge-coupled device-based pushbroom cameras to observe the Earth at nine discrete view angle: one at nadir, plus eight other symmetrical views at 26.1, 45.6, 60.0, and 70.5° forward and aftward of nadir.
		MISR's 36 simultaneous spectral-angular images allow derivation of aerosol optical depth and particle type, characterization of scene type, surface albedo, and bi-directional reflectance, and information about cloud properties.

	Michigan Siamese Rescue - MISR
		We have a strong network of dedicated volunteers that are willing and able to keep MISR running, but we are in dire need of places for these cats to live until their forever homes have been found.
		MISR pays for all vet expenses and special needs costs incurred by our cats, so the only financial output for the foster home is the nominal cost of food and litter.
		MISR screens potential adopters very carefully, and each foster home is involved in meeting potential adopters after they are screened and talking with them to ensure "their" cat goes to a home that is the "right fit".

	Satellite data reveal immense pollution pool over Bihar, India
		Larry Di Girolamo, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Illinois, was among the researchers analyzing four years of data collected by the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR) onboard the Terra satellite who discovered an immense wintertime pool of pollution over the northern Indian state of Bihar.
		“MISR is the first instrument to make high-resolution, multi-angle radiometric measurements of Earth from space,” Di Girolamo said.
		Prior to the MISR study, atmospheric models had predicted a tongue of pollution extending across the middle of India.

	EO Newsroom: New Images - Waves on White: Ice or Clouds
		By using information from several of its multiple cameras (each of which looks at the Earth’s surface from a different angle), MISR was able to tell that what looked liked a wavy cloud pattern was actually a wavy pattern on the ice surface.
		In this image pair, the view from MISR’s most oblique (off-vertical) backward-viewing camera is on the left, while the color-coded image on the right shows the results of a computer program called a cloud mask, which uses MISR’s multi-angle, multi-spectral data to classify clouds and distinguish them from surface features.
		MISR imagery indicates that these megadunes were stationary features between 2002 and 2004.
