MISR Level 2 TOA/Cloud Stereo Product for the GoMACCS Region

GOMI2ST_002 is a Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 2 product subset for the GoMACCS region. It contains stereoscopically derived cloud masks, cloud winds, and reflecting level reference altitude data. The dataset is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing cloud height and type based on stereoscopically derived cloud mask and cloud wind data.
• Monitoring long-term trends in atmospheric aerosols based on multi-angle spectral observations.
• Studying land surface vegetation canopy structure based on multi-wavelength imagery.
• Validating climate models using spatially resolved cloud and aerosol measurements.

Strengths

• Data is collected by the MISR instrument, which uses 9 cameras pointed in different directions for multi-angle observation.
• Observations are made in 4 distinct wavelengths: blue, green, red, and near-infrared.
• The dataset is designed to monitor monthly, seasonal, and long-term trends in three key environmental areas.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale ML tasks.
