Description

This file contains the Radiometric camera-by-camera Cloud Mask dataset. It is used to determine whether a scene is classified as clear or cloudy. A new parameter has been added to indicate dust over ocean. This version of the ESDT is used by MISR PGE 13. (Suggested Usage: The RCCM is used during geophysical parameter retrievals. In the TOA/Cloud Product,RCCM is combined with stereoscopically derived cloud mask to 1) establish values of the Reflecting Level Reference Altitude,2) determine how a scene is classified for choosing angular integration coefficients for establishing TOA albedos,and 3) calculate regional scene classifiers. Retrieval of Aerosol/Surface Product properties requires the abscence of clouds,for retrieval assumptions to be valid.)
