perturbation

Aerospace; Satellites

Irregular variation in, or deviation from, what is usual or expected, as in the orbital motion of a satellite being affected by extraordinary pull.

Lamps carried into orbit on imaging sensors for the purpose of measuring the responsivity of reflective band detectors as a function of time under the assumption that controlling or monitoring the ...

level 0 reformatted Landsat data product (L0R)

Aerospace; Satellites

Level 0 Reformatted Landsat data product. The Level 0R product is reformatted, raw data. Reformatting includes shifting pixels by integer amounts to account for 1) the alternating forward-reverse ...

level 1 geometrically corrected Landsat data product (L1G)

Aerospace; Satellites

The L1G product is radiometrically and geometrically corrected (systematic) to the user-specified parameters including output map projection, image orientation, pixel grid-cell size, and resampling ...

level 1 radiometrically corrected Landsat data product (LIR)

Aerospace; Satellites

The Level 1R product is a radiometrically corrected L0R product. This product 1) corrects detector artifacts such as coherent noise, 2) improves cosmetic artifacts such as banding, striping, and ...
