Data Evaluation

Some problems in the engineering data (samples 717-728) which are evident by horizontal streaks through these samples (Ports 1 and 2). Port 3 has a fair amount of static and line to line noise. Port 4 looks good except for some minor line to line noise in bands 41, 49, 50. No problems in Ports 3 or 4 in samples 717-728.
Low sun angle seems to have imagery brighter on one side as opposed to the other, especially over Lake Mead.
HEAD1 and HEAD2 counts spike at approximately record 6500 and 8000 in many port 2 bands. VIDMAX shows numerous saturation spikes from record 6500 onward in ports 1-3. Location of spikes is consistent across bands so spikes are probably due highly reflective ground targets, also sunglint.
