epoch, yy_obs, mo_obs, dd_obs, hhh, mmm, sss, msec, ti represents the time of image data.

mac_t, mac_1t, mac_f1t are temperatures of imager elecgronics, CCD, and filter, respectively; 

imode is an observation mode;

timres is a time interval of successive images; 

quality is a data quality;

glat and glon are geographic latitudes and longitudes for each pixel of image;

footlatn, footlonn, footaltn are geographic latitude, longitude and altitude at footprint; 

footpixx1n and footpixy1n are (x,y) pixel numbers in image correspond to the footprints;

footdirxy, footdiryn, foordirzn are the vector of foorprint direction in J2000 coordinate system; 

image1(*,*) is an image data (usually 64x64 2-D array).
