Description

This data set contains measurements of surface BRDF made by the POLDER instrument over several sites (pine, spruce, fen) of the BOREAS study areas during 1994. Single-point BRDF values were acquired from NASA's WFF helicopter. A related data set collected from the C-130 platform is available as is POLDER imagery acquired from the C-130.
