PRISM Level 1B2 data products

- Radiometric Accuracy
1) Relative Accuracy

Better than 1.2% (better than 3DN)(RMS): Vertical streaking stripes may appear in some of the images with similar characteristics.

2) Absolute Accuracy

Better than 6.2 %(RMS)

- Geometric Accuracy
1) Absolute Accuracy

	Error in pixel direction (cross track)	Error in line direction (along track)
