The purpose of the MISR experiment is to acquire systematic multi-angle imagery for global monitoring over a multi-year period of top-of-atmosphere and surface albedos and to measure the shortwave radiative properties of aerosols, clouds, and surface scenes.
This Science Data Validation Plan describes the plans for validating a subset of the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 2 algorithms and data products and supplying top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiances to the In-flight Radiometric Calibration and Characterization (IFRCC) subsystem for vicarious calibration.
The Portable Apparatus for Rapid Acquisition of Bidirectional Observation of the Land and Atmosphere III (PARABOLA III) is a sphere-scanning radiometer custom designed and built by Sensit Technologies, Inc.

One of the goals of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) is to create a set of long-term observations for the study of global change using multiple sensors on multiple platforms (Asrar and Dozier, 1994; Slater et al.,1996; Barnes and Holmes, 1993).
Spectral aerosol optical depths and surface hemispherical directional reflectance factors and bihemispherical reflectances are retrieved using multi-angle imagery taken by the airborne Advanced Solid-State Array Spectroradiometer.

In this paper, we describe an experiment to calibrate the Optical Sensor on board the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 with data acquired by the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS). This experiment establishes the suitability of AVIRIS for the calibration of spaceborne sensors in the 400 to 2500 nm spectral region.
The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) is an imaging spectrometer that measures spatial images of the total up welling spectral radiance from 400 to 2500 nm at 10 nm spectral intervals. Quantitiative research and application objectives for surface investigations require conversion of the measured radiance to surface reflectance or surface leaving radiance. In this paper we describe a set of algorithms to estimate aerosol optical depth, atmospheric water vapor, and surface pressure height from the AVIRIS measured radiance.

The performance of the TM vis-a-vis various geological applications was quantified by analyzing: (1) the geological utility of the data with respect to the increased spatial resolution and number of bands (compared to the MSS); (2) the geometric accuracy; (3) the radiometric performance of the TM scanner. Preliminary analyses were performed on TM scenes: over Death Valley, California, and over southern Arizona. Both scenes were acquired in CCT-PT format, where the data were geometrically and radiometrically corrected. Overall, the TM data appears to contain a marked increase in geologically useful information; however, a number of instrumental or processing artifacts may well limit the ability of the geologist to fully extract this information.
