AVIRIS-3 is an airborne spectral mapping system that measures reflected radiance at 7.4-nm intervals in the Visible to Shortwave Infrared (VSWIR) spectral range from 390-2500 nm. This spectrometer measures radiance from surface and atmosphere and is extremely similar in design to the orbital Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) spectrometer. AVIRIS-3 supports NASA Science and applications in many areas including plant composition and function, geology and soils, wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, greenhouse gas mapping, and calibration of orbital platforms.
