AVIRIS Facility Instrument Flight Line Geospatial and Tabular Data

Attributed geospatial and tabular information identifies and queries flight lines for the AVIRIS-C and AVIRIS-NG airborne imaging spectrometer collections. The dataset includes polygon representations of individual flight lines in shapefile and GeoJSON formats, plus separate KMZ files for each year. It was published by ORNL_CLOUD and last updated in August 2024.

Use Cases

• Filter flight lines by bounding coordinates and date to find data for a specific region and time period.
• Identify flight lines associated with a particular investigator or campaign name for research attribution.
• Query flight attributes to locate lines with specific sensor configurations or operational parameters.
• Link flight line polygons to corresponding L1B radiance and L2 reflectance file names for data retrieval.

Strengths

• Includes data for both AVIRIS-C and AVIRIS-NG instrument collections.
• Provides multiple geospatial formats (shapefile, GeoJSON, KMZ) for visualization and querying.
• Tabular data includes dates, site names, investigators, and file associations.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of flight lines or temporal coverage range.
• Sample data and specific column definitions are unavailable for preview.
• Geographic coverage is not specified, limiting assessment of spatial bias.
