The PREFIRE mission announces the 1st release of level 1, L1A and L1B, data. These data are at beta maturity, which means that the product is minimally validated but may still contain significant errors; it is based on product quick looks using the initial calibration parameters. Because the products at this stage have minimal validation, users should refrain from making conclusive public statements regarding science and applications of the data products until a product is designated at the provisional validation status.
Level 1A product is calibrated, but not geolocated Earth-emitted spectral radiance measured by TIRS instrument. Level 1B product is calibrated and geolocated spectral radiance. Both products also include radiance uncertainties and quality flags. The L1 radiance data products are provided in netCDF4 format.
