Access rules:
Access to these data is available to any registered CEDA user. Please Login or Register for an account to gain access.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence: https://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/citing-asdc-data. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record.
Data lineage:

The data were obtained by the MISR Science Team, which were then downloaded and made available by the Quality Assurance for Essential Climate Variable (QA4ECV) Team to the NEODC for archiving after completeness checks had been carried out using MD5 checksums to ensure bitwise complete transfers.

File Format:
Data are in HDF-EOS formated
