Description

Flight line reflectance measurements from the Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) instrument aboard the Tempus Applied Solutions Gulfstream-IV (G-IV) aircraft, taken as part of the NASA COral Reef Airborne Laboratory (CORAL) Earth Venture Suborbital-2 (EVS-2) mission designed to provide an extensive, uniform picture of coral reef composition. The CORAL mission surveyed parts of the reefs surrounding the Mariana Islands, Palau, portions of the Great Barrier Reef, the main Hawaiian Islands, and the Florida Keys.
