Overview

For BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS), the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) images, along with the other remotely sensed data, were collected to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter maps such as fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) and Leaf Area Index (LAI). Collection of the MAS images occurred over the study areas during the 1994 field campaigns. The level-1b MAS data cover the dates of 21-Jul-1994, 24-Jul-1994, 04-Aug-1994, and 08-Aug-1994. The data are not geographically/geometrically corrected; however, files of relative X and Y coordinates for each image pixel were derived by using the C-130 INS data in a MAS scan model. The data are provided in binary image format files.Strub, Richard and Strub, Richard and Newcomer, Jeffrey A. and Ungar, StephenGoddard Space Flight CenterECOSYSTEMS; IMAGING SPECTROMETERS; RADIANCE; REMOTE SENSING; SPECTRORADIOMETERS; CARTESIAN COORDINATES; INFORMATION SYSTEMS; FLIGHT SIMULATORS; CALIBRATING; DATA ACQUISITION; C-130 AIRCRAFT; FLIGHT TESTS; SPATIAL RESOLUTION; LEAF AREA INDEX...
