Reflectance Deviations Between Sunlit and Shaded Slopes from Satellite Imagery

Raw reflectance data comparing sunlit and shaded slopes, supporting a figure in a published PLOS ONE article. The dataset is a 10.7 KB XLSX file authored by Xuanying Shen and last updated on April 30, 2026. It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 and hosted on figshare.

Use Cases

• Validate the reflectance differences between sunlit and shaded slopes presented in the associated research figure.
• Analyze the magnitude of absolute reflectance deviations for terrain modeling.
• Reproduce or extend the geospatial analysis from the source PLOS ONE article.

Strengths

• Directly supports a peer-reviewed publication in PLOS ONE, indicating research relevance.
• File size of 10.7 KB ensures quick download and easy inspection.
• Clear licensing under CC-BY-4.0 allows for open reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's scope is limited to the specific analysis for a single figure.
