From the filename, I believe that you are looking at an ASTER image from
2003 processed to Level 1B: registered radiance at the sensor. See

http://lpdaac.usgs.gov/aster/ast_l1b.asp

That meaans that the float data are in units of
watts/meter^2/steradian/micrometer

In order to get ground reflectance you would either have to apply
atmospheric correction yourself (e.g. with ENVI's FLAASH Addon) or order
the corresponding product from LPDAAC.
