Description

The Airborne Hyperspectral Reflectance Indian Cave Nebraska Multi-Day (AEHYPICNE1M) data are from the Indian Cave Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGeo) plot in Indian Cave State Park in southeastern Nebraska. The data have a spatial resolution of 1 meter (m) and fall in the spectral range of 400-1000 nanometers (nm). The data can be used by researchers in developing new capabilities for the remote sensing of forest diversity and function, as well as a global biodiversity monitoring system.

The Indian Cave ForestGeo plot airborne data were collected on September 6, 2019, and August 4, 2022. The images were collected by the Nebraska Earth Observatory (NEO), using an AisaKESTREL (Specim, Oulu, Finland) hyperspectral pushbroom sensor mounted on a Piper Saratoga fixed-wing aircraft.

The AEHYPICNE1M product provides images with 178 hyperspectral bands that have been radiometrically, geometrically, and atmospherically corrected.

Variables

Variables are a set of physical properties whose values determine the characteristics or behavior of something. For example, temperature and pressure are variables of the atmosphere. Parameters and variables can be used interchangeably. Variable level attributes provide individual information for each variable.

The Name in this table is the variable name. Fill value indicates missing or undefined data points in a variable. Valid range is the range of values the variable can store. Scale factor is used to increase or decrease the size of an object and can be used to correct for distortion. For questions on a specific variable, please use the Earthdata Forum.
