[PS3-4-4] Temporal resolution

Temporal resolution, also referred to as the revisit cycle, is defined as the amount of time it takes for a satellite to return to collect data from exactly the same location on the Earth. Imageing of the exact same area at the same viewing angle a second time is temporal resolution.
