Proba CHRIS Level 1A 2007-04

CHRIS acquires a set of up to five images of each target during each acquisition sequence, these images are acquired when Proba-1 is pointing at distinct angles with respect to the target. CHRIS Level 1A products (supplied in HDF data files, version 4.1r3) include five formal CHRIS imaging modes, classified as modes 1 to 5: • MODE 1: Full swath width, 62 spectral bands, 773nm / 1036nm, nadir ground sampling distance 34m @ 556km • MODE 2 WATER BANDS: Full swath width, 18 spectral bands, nadir ground sampling distance 17m @ 556km • MODE 3 LAND CHANNELS: Full swath width, 18 spectral bands, nadir ground sampling distance 17m @ 556km • MODE 4 CHLOROPHYL BAND SET: Full swath width, 18 spectral bands, nadir ground sampling distance 17m @ 556km • MODE 5 LAND CHANNELS: Half swath width, 37 spectral bands, nadir ground sampling distance 17m @ 556km All Proba-1 passes are systematically acquired according to the current acquisition plan, CHRIS data are processed every day to Level 1A and made available to ESA users. Observation over a new specific area can be performed by submitting the request to add a new site to the acquisition plan. Valuable indication whether the acquisition was successfully, cloudy, failed or programmed is reported in the _$$Proba-CHRIS Actual Acquisitions$$ http://www.rsacl.co.uk/chris/excel/active/
