The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) Calibrated Infrared Record (IRRDR) data products contain the radiometrically corrected thermal infrared radiance observations. Uses Digital Number (DN), gain, and offset values from raw image with the instrument response function and a calibration flag image to return a calibrated spectral radiance image in Wcm2str-1μm-1.

For IR data, the DN values represent the delta signal between the scene and internal reference calibration flag. After decompression, the data are converted to scene radiance by: (1) adjusting for the gain and offset values used during data collection; (2) correcting for drift or offset that occurs between observations of the calibration flag; and (3) converting signal to radiance using the instrument response function determined prior to launch.

THEMIS IR images are acquired at selectable image lengths and in combinations of ten selectable bands (enumerated in the table below). The image width is 320 pixels (32 km, based on the nominal 400 km mapping orbit) and the length is variable, in multiples of 256 line increments, with a minimum and maximum image lengths of 272 and 65,296 lines respectively (27.2 km and 6,530 km, based on the nominal mapping orbit). The IR focal plane is covered by ten ~1 μm-bandwidth strip filters, producing ten band images with bands 1 and 2 having the same wavelength range.

In addition to the typical infrared images, additional images called “reset” images are collected throughout each orbit for calibration purposes.
