MISR Satellite Products for Cold Land Processes Experiment

CLPX-Satellite: Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) Products, Version 1 contains georectified terrain, land surface, and ancillary geographic data for the Cold Land Processes Field Experiment. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration produced this dataset covering a Large Regional Study Area in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming. Data files are available in BIN, ISO, and HTML formats.

Use Cases

• Analyzing land surface albedo using multi-angle spectral radiance measurements.
• Studying snow and ice cover dynamics in the Colorado-Wyoming region.
• Integrating georectified terrain data with other CLPX field experiment observations.
• Investigating visible wavelength spectral properties of the terrestrial hydrosphere.

Strengths

• Includes multiple data levels: Level-1B2 georectified terrain and Level-2 land surface products.
• Provides ancillary geographic products for spatial context and integration.
• Dataset is hosted on multiple authoritative platforms (Data.gov and NASA Earthdata), indicating recognized importance.

Limitations

• Critical metadata conflicts exist: last updated date differs significantly between Data.gov (2026-03-13) and NASA Earthdata (2003-05-15).
• No column names, row counts, or dataset size information are provided on any platform.
• License is ambiguously listed as 'other-license-specified' without clear terms.
