MI1B2E_004 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 1B2 Ellipsoid Data Version 4 product. It contains Ellipsoid-projected Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) Radiance, resampled at the surface and topographically corrected, as well as geometrically corrected by PGE22. Data collection for this product is ongoing.
MISR itself is an instrument designed to view Earth with cameras pointed in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, each piece of Earth's surface below is successively imaged by all 9 cameras, in each of 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). The goal of MISR is to improve our understanding of the affects of sunlight on Earth, as well as distinguish different types of clouds, particles and surfaces. Specifically, MISR monitors the monthly, seasonal, and long-term trends in three areas: 1) amount and type of atmospheric particles (aerosols), including those formed by natural sources and by human activities; 2) amounts, types, and heig[...]

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations are estimated using information from satellite-, simulation- and monitor-based sources. Aerosol optical depth from multiple satellites (MODIS, VIIRS, MISR, SeaWiFS, and VIIRS) and their respective retrievals (Dark Target, Deep Blue, MAIAC) is combined with simulation (GEOS-Chem) based upon their relative uncertainties as determined using ground-based sun photometer (AERONET) observations to produce geophysical estimates that explain most of the variance in ground-based PM2.5 measurements. A subsequent statistical fusion incorporates additional information from ground-based PM2.5 measurements.

The Terra Basic Fusion dataset is a fused dataset of the original Level 1 radiances
from the five Terra instruments. They have been fully validate to contain the original
Terra instrument Level 1 data. Each Level 1 Terra Basic Fusion file contains one full
Terra orbit of data and is typically 15 – 40 GB in size, depending on how much data was
collected for that orbit. It contains instrument radiance in physical units; radiance
quality indicator; geolocation for each IFOV at its native resolution; sun-view geometry;
bservation time; and other attributes/metadata. It is stored in HDF5, conformed to CF
conventions, and accessible by netCDF-4 enhanced models. It’s naming convention
follows: TERRABFL1BOXXXXYYYYMMDDHHMMSSF000V000.h5. A concise description of the
dataset, along with links to complete documentation and available software tools, can
be found on the Terra Fusion project page: https://terrafusion.web.illinois.edu.
