Abstract :
The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument was launched into polar orbit aboard the Terra spacecraft in December 1999. MISR provides a unique approach to characterizing atmospheric aerosols, the surface, and clouds. This paper provides examples of MISR products and highlights results derived from imagery acquired during the first 18 months of the Terra mission
