The Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer - Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) is the successor to AVIRIS-C and provides high signal-to-noise ratio imaging spectroscopy measurements in 425 contiguous spectral channels with wavelengths in the solar reflected spectral range (380-2510 nm) with 5 nm sampling. AVIRIS-NG started operation in 2014 and was designed to operate aboard NASA’s ER-2, a Twin Otter, and a B-200. AVIRIS-NG operates between 380 nm - 2510 nm with 5nm spectral resolution. It has a spatial resolution of 18 m at 20 km altitude and is often used for terrestrial ecology research investigations.
