SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:

Averaged spectral reflectance for a conifer forest dominated by whitebark pine located on the slopes of Electric Peak (in the Gallatin Mountain Range) in Yellowstone National Park. Average computed from 105 pixels of radiative-transfer-ground-calibrated AVIRIS data.  AVIRIS data were collected on August 6, 1996, at approximately 11:10 am Local Time.  AVIRIS channels 1-4, 32-33, 43, 59-62, 81-84, 95-97, 106-113, 154-167, 173-175, and 222-224 were deleted due to residual atmospheric effects, poor instrument response, and redundancy where detectors overlap.  Sample referenced in Kokaly et al. (2002).
