## MISR observing concept

- <date/time>

**MISR observing concept**

**Nine view angles at Earth surface:**
**70.5o forward to 70.5o aft**
**Four spectral bands at each angle:**
**446,**** ****558,**** ****672,**** ****866**** nm**
**Seven minutes to observe each **
**scene at all 9 angles**
**400-km swath**
**Global coverage about once **
**per week**
**275 m - 1.1 km spatial sampling**
**Air mass factors from 1 (nadir) to 3**
**Scattering angles from ~60 ̊ to ~160 ̊ **
**in mid-latitudes**

## Slide 23

**Notes:**
To the north and east, aerosol mixtures 6 (spherical, medium, clean) and 9 (spherical, bi-modal, clean) dominate
To the west, mixtures 1, 2 (spherical, small, clean), 10 (spherical, bi-modal, clean), and especially 18, 19 (dusty) are common
In situ observations: Sep 01 -- 50% by mass more fine mode than any other campaign day
Sep 10 -- Average day for campaign, with a little more dust
Sep 12 -- Highest AOT day of campaign; 2x higher Fe in particles
