SAGE III Library

SAGE III Data Products Users Guide
The SAGE III Data Products User's Guide provides a general description of the measurement technique, instrument, mission, and sampling coverage. The charge coupled device (CCD) assignments for solar and lunar are described in Appendix A. Instructions for accessing the SAGE III Data Product files are also provided, and detailed descriptions of their content and format are provided in Appendices B through E.

SAGE III Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs)
SAGE III Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs) provide the theoretical basis — both the physical theory and the mathematical procedures and possible assumptions being applied — for the calculations that have to be made to convert the radiances received by the instruments to geophysical quantities. The geophysical quantities are then available to the scientific community for studies of the various characteristics of the Earth system.

SAGE III Validation Plan
The Validation Plan outlines an approach to verify the SAGE III measurement and retrieval algorithm system and a strategy to acquire correlative measurements in order to validate the accuracy and precision of the SAGE III Standard Science Products. The plan covers the first 2 years of operation of the SAGE III/Meteor-3M mission.
