Medium-resolution imaging spectrometer

The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) is an optical instrument which is intended to be flown on the first European Polar Platform, scheduled for launch in 1997. The instrument has a spectral range of 400 nm to 1050 nm, a swath width of 1500 km, a spectral resolution of 1.25 nm and spatial resolution of 250 m. The instrument has applications in the fields of oceanographic, land and atmospheric research.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
