Each scan line is composed of eight individual 4.0 second steps and requires a total of 32 seconds, including time for the mirror retrace. The 10 degree IFOV gives a resolution of 147 km at the satellite subpoint and the stepping produces an underlap between adjacent scan lines of approximately 62 km at nadir. A calibration sequence is initiated every 256 seconds (8 scans) during which the radiometer is in turn, stepped to a position to view unobstructed space and an internal blackbody at a known temperature.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description></gmi:MI_Instrument>
