Imagery Resolution
Imagery Resolution
[1] The Imagery Resolution is the resolution of the image offered on the GIBS system. Generally the imagery resolution is of equal or higher resolution than the native or sensor resolution. Web Mercator imagery is generated by re-sampling the geographically projected imagery. In that process, the closest corresponding resolution is used.

Anchor
Sensor Resolution
Sensor Resolution
[2] The Sensor Resolution, also known as native resolution, is provided as a reference not to be confused with the imagery resolution explained in [1]. This is the resolution of the source product elements which went into making the imagery product served in GIBS. Anchorresolutionresolution [3] This value refers to the resolution of the imagery. In many cases the actual instrument or measurement resolution is coarser.
