MIL2TCSP_001 is the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) Level 2 Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA)/Cloud Height and Motion parameters Version 1 data product. It contains the Stereo Heights, Stereoscopically Derived Cloud Mask (SDCM) and Cloud Motion Vectors with associated data. Data collection for this product is ongoing.

The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) is designed to view Earth with cameras in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, each piece of Earth's surface below is successively imaged by all nine cameras in 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). The goal of MISR is to improve our understanding of the fate of sunlight in Earth's environment and 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 heights of clouds, and 3) distribution of land surface cover, including vegetation canopy structure. MISR Level 2 TOA/Cloud Height and Motion parameters V001 contains the Stereo Heights, Stereoscopically Derived Cloud Mask (SDCM), and Cloud Motion Vectors with associated data.
