Abstract: This file (niihaux.tif) represents a multispectral SPOT image of the island of Niihau, Hawaii.
Purpose: Worldwide satellite imagery coverage.
Supplemental Information: Sensor Type - Panchromatic, Mulitspectral Sensor Name - SPOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Sensor Homepage URL - http://www.spot.com, http://www.spotimage.fr/home/welcome.htm Sensor Platform - SPOT Satellite Sensor Orbit Type - Polar, circular, sun-synchronous Sensor Revisit Frequency - 1 - 4 Days Sensor Launch Date - (1) 1986, (2) 1990, (3) 1993, (4) 1998, (5) 2002 Nominal Azimuth Nominal Elevation Nominal Altitude Incidence Angle (look) Sun Angle Azimuth Sun Angle Elevation Orbit Direction Mode Name - P, M, XS, XI Mode Description - P = Panchromatic, M = Monospectral, XS, XI = Multispectral Mode Resolution - SPOT 1 - 4: P = 10 m, XS = 20 m SPOT 5: P = 2.5 or 5 m, XS = 10 m (N,R,G), 20 m (SWIR) Mode Resolution Units - meters Mode Resolution Notes - "M" Monospectral Mode (Spot 4) Imaging is performed in the band B2 (0.61 to 0.68 ?m). Like the "P" mode of SPOT 1, 2, 3, this single channel spectral mode of acquisition provides only black and white images with a pixel of 10 meters.

Leader File - contains auxiliary information related to the SPOT Scene (identification parameters defining the geometry and the radiometry of the scene, preprocessing data, etc.) Imagery File - contains one file descriptor record which gives the number and length of the imagery records, how the pixels are packed, the location of the left and right margins, and the size of the prefix data. Trailer File - contains information about quality, geometric transformation and grid parameters. Null Volume Directory - contains only one 360-byte record which is a subset of information recorded on the Volume Descriptor record of the Volume Directory file. .fil Descriptor File - lists all files on CD-Rom, 4mm DAT, 8 mm cartridge and 1/4-inch cartridge.
