    3 ATM comes as raw data on the flight disks and is moved into files by a program called azed.  Each data frame has a 16 bit header (holding the scan number?) then 11 unsigned ints of data.  Note that there are two types of ATM file - ones containing navigation (normally az*000 but not always) and ones containing imagery.
     3The NERC ARSF ATM is a multispectral scanner with 11 bands covering visible, near, short and thermal infra-red wavelengths. The instrument has been retired since the end of the 2008 flying season.

    528There's an apparent byte pattern of "AZSYS001" at the start of the files, at least for 2007 ATM.  I suspect if the data you're looking at is old (early 90s?) it will be different as there was a change to the ATM back then sometime.
