This table was updated on 12 April 2005 and reflects Version 2 AMSREL1A data. Users are encouraged to work with Version 2 data since they have corrected Cold Sky Mirror (CSM) data and improved geolocation. Header information is still available for users of Version 1 data.
The AMSR-E level 1A product includes core metadata and product-specific attributes. The following tables (Mitsubishi 2000) show an example of typical metadata fields. Some fields, such as ProductionDateTime, will vary among files.
