Jim,I was lurking on the telecon yesterday. At NSIDC we work with satellite-based passive microwave swath data. "Line" and "sample" terminology would work fine for these.

I think that these are more generic than previous suggestions, and accommodate a wider range of data acquisition schemes. There can be sensors out there for which even these names are "incorrect", but the vast majority of the data is produced as a raster of some sort. This is common terminology in many other arenas (photogrammetry, for example).-- Jim Biard Government Contractor, STG Inc.
