The antennas are step-scanned through eleven individual 1.84-second Earth viewing steps and require a total of 25.6 seconds to complete. The 124-kilometer IFOV resolution at the subpoint creates an underlap of approximately 115 km between adjacent scan lines.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description></gmi:MI_Instrument>
