Definition

  • [Source: NASA CALIPSO project Home Page, http://www-calipso.larc.nasa.gov/about/payload.php#WFC ] The WFC is a modified version of the commercial off-the-shelf Ball Aerosopace CT-633 star tracker camera. It is a fixed, nadir-viewing imager with a single spectral channel covering the 620-670 nm region, selected to match band 1 of the MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument on Aqua. Characteristics: Wavelength: 645 nm Spectral Bandwidth: 50 nm IFOV/swath: 125 m/61 km Data Rate: 26 kbps Group: Instrument_Details Entry_ID: WFC Group: Instrument_Identification Instrument_Category: Earth Remote Sensing Instruments Instrument_Class: Passive Remote Sensing Instrument_Type: Photon/Optical Detectors Instrument_Subtype: Cameras Short_Name: WFC Long_Name: Wide Field Camera End_Group Group: Associated_Platforms Short_Name: CALIPSO End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Wavelength_Keyword: Visible Number_Channels: 1 Spectral_Frequency_Coverage_Range: 620-670 nm End_Group Online_Resource: http://www-calipso.larc.nasa.gov/about/payload.php#WFC Sample_Image: http://www-calipso.larc.nasa.gov/about/images/payload.jpg Creation_Date: 2007-05-22 Group: Instrument_Logistics Data_Rate: 26 kbps Instrument_Owner: USA/NASA End_Group End_Group (en)
