Description

The Airborne Hyperspectral Reflectance image mosaic is of the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve (CCESR), Minnesota (AEHYPCCMN300MM). The image is at approximate 1 meter and resampled to 300 millimeter (0.3 meter) spatial resolution during processing in the 400 to 970 nanometer (nm) spectral range. This image can be used to understand the optical diversity-biodiversity relationship and investigate the spatial sensitivity of the relationship at local scales.

Airborne data for the LTER Cedar Creek site were collected on August 2, 2014, using an AisaEAGLE airborne hyperspectral system mounted on a fixed-wing Piper Saratoga aircraft. The images were collected from a height of 1,540 m and spectral binning (approximately 10 nm) increased the signal-to-noise ratio of the data. Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Hypercubes (FLAASH) software was used for atmospheric correction in converting radiance to reflectance. Airborne data covered all the prairie grassland plots in the biodiversity (BioDIV) experiment and the Biodiversity and Climate experiment. The data were mosaicked as one image.

Provided in the AEHYPCCMN300MM product are 64 hyperspectral bands in an Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI) format.

Variables

The table below lists the variables contained within a single granule for this dataset. Variables often contain observed or derived geophysical measurements collected from a variety of sources, including remote sensing instruments on satellite and airborne platforms, field campaigns, in situ measurements, and model outputs. The terms variable, parameter, scientific data set, layer, and band have been used across NASA’s Earth science disciplines; however, variable is the designated nomenclature in NASA’s Common Metadata Repository (CMR). Variable metadata attributes such as Name, Description, Units, Data Type, Fill Value, Valid Range, and Scale Factor allow users to efficiently process and analyze the data. The full range of attributes may not be applicable to all variables. Additional information on variable attributes is typically available in the data, user guide, and/or other product documentation.

For questions on a specific variable, please use the Earthdata Forum.
