TITLE: Willow-Sedge-Mix YNP-WS-1 DESCRIPT

DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: Plant

SAMPLE_ID: YNP-WS-1

PLANT_TYPE: Riparian shrubs and sedges.

PLANT: Willow and sedge.

LATIN_NAME: Salix sp. and Carex sp.

COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Obsidian Creek (south of Indian Creek Campground and north of Obsidian Cliff), Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA.

ORIGINAL_DONOR: R.Kokaly

SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:

Averaged spectral reflectance for a riparian area, dominated by willows and sedges, located on the banks of Obsidian Creek (south of Indian Creek Campground and north of Obsidian Cliff) of Yellowstone National Park. This average spectrum was computed from 39 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).
