Therefore it is necessary for the ground processing to connectdata of three virtual channels of each radiometer. Nadir view radiometer and forward/backward view radiometerconsist of six CCDs and eight CCDs respectively, and have overlapped pixels in both ends. The overlapped pixelareas are shown in the Tables 3.4-1 and 3.4-2.3-30
