<H5>LAC/HRPT Level 1b Format</H5>
Level 1b HRPT/LAC is high resolution (1 km) data which can be
obtained via the World Wide Web (<a href="http://www.saa.noaa.gov)">http://www.saa.noaa.gov)</a>. The
Level 1b designation indicates that this data is an enhanced form
of raw HRPT data. Level 1b data contains extra information such
as Earth location values in lat/long. This Earth location data is
used to form a grid of up to 255 GCPs, which are stored in a GCP
segment when FIMPORT is applied to Level 1b data. FIMPORT will also
create a text segment which contains information such as the satellite
name, date/time of image capture, orbital (ephemeris) element values,
and some calibration data.<p>
For the Level 1b HRPT/LAC format, FIMPORT also creates a binary orbit
segment containing per-scanline quality, calibration, and timing information.
