Angular resolution

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010374

The ability of an imaging system or sensor to distinguish between two objects that are close together in angular separation. It defines the smallest angle between two points that can be separately resolved. For meteorological satellites, higher angular resolution provides more detailed images of clouds and atmospheric features.
