AVIRIS-NG Hyperspectral Imagery for Idaho and California Watersheds

Hyperspectral imagery provides calibrated surface reflectance measurements from the AVIRIS-NG airborne instrument. The dataset contains 72 flight lines captured over research sites in Idaho and California during 2014 and 2015. Data is radiometrically and geometrically calibrated, offering reflectance across 426 spectral bands at 1-meter spatial resolution.

Use Cases

• Vegetation analysis using 5-nanometer interval reflectance from 380 to 2510 nm.
• Land surface classification and change detection at 1-meter spatial resolution.
• Calibration and validation of satellite-derived surface reflectance products.
• Watershed and forest ecosystem studies across the Reynolds Creek and Inyo National Forest sites.

Strengths

• High spectral resolution with measurements at 5-nm intervals across 426 bands.
• Precise 1-meter spatial resolution enables detailed landscape analysis.
• Data covers 72 distinct flight lines, providing substantial aerial coverage.
• Measurements are radiometrically and geometrically calibrated for scientific use.

Limitations

• Conflicting last updated dates: one source lists 2015-06-13, others list 2026-03 13.
• Specific column names, row counts, and dataset size are not provided by any source.
• License is ambiguously listed as 'other-license-specified' without explicit terms.
