Spectral Library for Adelaide Coastal Waters 2003

Spectral library of aquatic substrates from the Adelaide Coastal Waters, collected in 2003. It is part of the Australian National Spectral Database and was used in a remote sensing study of marine and coastal features.

Use Cases

• Analyze spectral signatures from the National Spectral Database to classify coastal substrate types.
• Use spectral data to interpret changes in marine features related to natural and anthropogenic processes.
• Apply remote sensing techniques to study coastal waters as referenced in the ACWS Technical Report No.6.

Strengths

• Data is hosted in the authoritative National Spectral Database (NSD).
• Associated with a published technical report (ACWS Technical Report No.6) from 2007.
• Managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• The specific number of spectral samples, rows, columns, and file formats is unknown.
• Data is from a single year (2003), limiting temporal analysis.
• Access requires navigating to an external database URL for instructions.
