The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) announced the release of Version 3.64 of the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS). This release adds a “Spectral Comparison” tab allowing visualization of point samples from the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) mission.
Using the “Spectral Comparison” tab, users can compare extracted point sample spectra from the EMIT L1B At-Sensor Calibrated Radiance and Geolocation Data (EMITL1BRAD v001) or EMIT L2A Estimated Surface Reflectance and Uncertainty and Masks (EMITL2ARFL v001) products. Up to three spectra can be selected based on their unique point ID and date/time using a dropdown menu, then compared in an interactive spectral plot. For additional information, view the Help page.
