Description
A sensor is a defined sensory sub-component of an instrument. (e.g. InstrumentShortName=ASTER, NumberofSen-sors= 3, SensorShortName= SWIR, SensorShortName= TIR, SensorShortName= VNIR) In cases where the Instru-ment has a single Sensor or the Instrument and Sensor are synonomous then both attributes should be populated. (e.g. AVHRR). Sensors cannot exist without Instruments.
