            <gco:CharacterString>Instrument Type: sounder, Operational Mode: cross-track, Collection Type: step and stare mode, Other Information: The SSM/T is a cross-track nadir scanning radiometer having a field of view (FOV) of 14.4 degrees. At the nominal 833 km altitude, the subtrack spatial            resolution is an approximate circle of 174 km diameter at nadir. There are seven total cross-track scan positions separated by 12 degrees with a maximum cross-track scan angle of 36 degrees. At the far end of each scan, resolution degrades to an ellipse of 213 x 304 km size. The SSM/T            data swath is about 1500 km; therefore, there is a data coverage gap between successive orbits over much of the earth.</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>Instrument Type: imager, Operational Mode: , Collection Type: conical scan, Other Information: The instrument sweeps a 450 cone around the satellite velocity vector so that the Earth incidence angle is always            540. Data are recorded during the 102.40 of the cone when the antenna beam intercepts the Earth's surface. The channel footprint varies with channel energy, position in the scan, along scan or along track direction and altitude            of the satellite. The 85 GHz footprint is the smallest with a 13 x 15 km and the 19 GHz footprint is the largest at 43 x 69 km. Because the 85 GHz footprint is so small, it is sampled twice as often, i.e., 128 times a scan. One            data cycle consists of 4 85 GHz scans and 2 scans of the 19, 22 and 37 GHz channels. The complete cycle takes 28 seconds and it must be complete to process the data.</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>Instrument Type: imager, Operational Mode: , Collection Type: conical scan, Other Information: The instrument sweeps a 450 cone around the satellite velocity vector so that the Earth incidence angle is always            540. Data are recorded during the 102.40 of the cone when the antenna beam intercepts the Earth's surface. The channel footprint varies with channel energy, position in the scan, along scan or along track direction and altitude            of the satellite. The 85 GHz footprint is the smallest with a 13 x 15 km and the 19 GHz footprint is the largest at 43 x 69 km. Because the 85 GHz footprint is so small, it is sampled twice as often, i.e., 128 times a scan. One            data cycle consists of 4 85 GHz scans and 2 scans of the 19, 22 and 37 GHz channels. The complete cycle takes 28 seconds and it must be complete to process the data.</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>Instrument Type: sounder, Operational Mode: cross-track, Collection Type: step and stare mode, Other Information: The SSM/T is a cross-track nadir scanning radiometer having a field of view (FOV) of 14.4 degrees. At the nominal 833 km altitude, the subtrack spatial            resolution is an approximate circle of 174 km diameter at nadir. There are seven total cross-track scan positions separated by 12 degrees with a maximum cross-track scan angle of 36 degrees. At the far end of each scan, resolution degrades to an ellipse of 213 x 304 km size. The SSM/T            data swath is about 1500 km; therefore, there is a data coverage gap between successive orbits over much of the earth.</gco:CharacterString>
