Open-File Report 01-0429: AVIRIS Calibration Sites and Spectra

About USGS /  Science Topics /  Maps, Products & Publications /  Education / FAQ

Here are the calibration site image and corresponding spectral data files as measured on the ground using an Analytical Spectral Devices ASD-FR field-spectrometer. (Use of trade names is for descriptive purposes only and does not constitute endorsement but the USGS.) Several dozen field spectra were collected, averaged, and the results smoothed in areas where atmospheric absorption and instrument artifacts occurred.
