      <description>The IRIS data is a reprocessing of the IRAS data set
   and has the same geometry as the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas (ISSA, 
   labeled as IRAS nnn micron in &lt;i&gt;SkyView&lt;/i&gt;) surveys.
   This new generation of IRAS images, called IRIS, 
   benefits from a better zodiacal light subtraction, 
   from a calibration and zero level compatible with DIRBE, 
   and from a better destriping. 
   At 100 micron the IRIS product is also a significant improvement 
   from the Schlegel et al. (1998) maps. 
   IRIS keeps the full ISSA resolution, 
   it includes well calibrated point sources and the 
   diffuse emission calibration at scales smaller 
   than 1 degree was corrected for the variation of 
   the IRAS detector responsivity with scale and brightness. 
   The uncertainty on the IRIS calibration and zero level 
   are dominated by the uncertainty on the DIRBE calibration 
   and on the accuracy of the zodiacal light model.   
   &lt;p&gt;
   More information about the IRIS dataset is available at 
   &lt;a href="https://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~mamd/IRIS"&gt; the IRIS website&lt;/a&gt;
