On May 6 from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. (US Eastern Time), the Data Catalog and Earthdata Search search may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance of the NASA Common Metadata Repository (CMR).
We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.Read about the Web Unification Project

Description
Ground BRDF measurements were acquired by the Remote Sensing Science (RSS)-08 team to aid in the development of advanced spectral vegetation indices. The RSS-08 team measured reflectances at the double-scaffold towers in the Southern Study Area (SSA) Old Black Spruce (OBS) and Old Aspen (OA) sites during IFC-3 in 1994. The RSS-08 team also acquired stereo photography at the SSA-OA, SSA-OJP, and SSA-OBS sites during IFC-3.
