Terra Prelaunch Polarization measurements

Terra Prelaunch Polarization measurements



See Aqua pages for more details.

- Terra polarization correction LUT, band optimized with Walushka assumptions and selection of best detectors (HDF), correct magnitude, provided for SeaDAS
- Same as above without selection of best detectors (HDF)
- Terra polarization correction LUT, original from Miami (HDF)
- Terra polarization factor as calculated by MCST, Excel file
- Terra polarization phase angle as calculated by MCST (wrong), Excel file

Below are PDF files showing the prelaunch data:
- Viewing angle -45 deg: All bands, both mirror sides, all detectors (PDF, 22 pages)
- Viewing angle -22.5 deg: All bands, both mirror sides, all detectors (PDF, 22 pages)
- Viewing angle 0 deg: All bands, both mirror sides, all detectors (PDF, 22 pages)
- Viewing angle +22.5 deg: All bands, both mirror sides, all detectors (PDF, 22 pages)
- Viewing angle +45 deg: All bands, both mirror sides, all detectors (PDF, 22 pages)
