GCE-LTER Data Set Summary

Accession: GIS-GCES-1401f Research Theme: Geospatial Analysis (Directed Study)
Contributors: Christine M. Hladik, John Schalles
Title: 2006 AISA hyperspectral imagery of the GCE domain for vegetation
Abstract: Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Applications (AISA) Eagle hyperspectral imagery were acquired on June 20-21, 2006, by the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies (CALMIT). This included ten flight lines flown for the examination of salt marsh and upland vegetation spectral properties near Blackbeard Creek, the Duplin River, Dean Creek, and the Altamaha River. Imagery was acquired for 63 bands from 400-980 nm at a 1 m spatial resolution. The bandwidths were preselected by investigators with CALMIT to to capture the vegetative red reflectance feature, leaf water content related NIR reflectance, and carotenoid and chlorophyll driven absorption behaviors. These data were acquired for the following purposes: 1) calculate suites of remote sensing vegetation indices, (2) produce algorithms for predicting plant and phytoplankton chlorophyll and accessory pigments, vegetation biomass, 3) assess vegetative health, and (4) perform atmospheric corrections.
