NASA's MISR INteractive eXplorer (MINX) is an interactive application written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) that functions both as a general-purpose tool to visualize Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) data and as a specialized tool to retrieve detailed plume heights and wind velocities from wildfire smoke, volcanic, and dust plumes. 

MINX includes high-level options to:

• Interactively digitize plumes in order to automatically retrieve heights and winds from MISR multi-angle imagery
• Make scrollable, single-camera and multi-camera true-color and false-color images of MISR radiance data
• Create animations of the nine MISR camera images providing a 3D perspective of MISR scenes
• Display plots of top-of-atmosphere Bidirectional Reflectance Factor (BRF) vs. camera angle for selected pixels
• Difference images acquired on MISR orbits that share the same ground track
• Create map views of MISR orbit locations
• Save images and animations to disk in various formats
