    BOREAS RSS-18 Level 1B AVIRIS At-Sensor Radiance Imagery

    Metadata Updated: February 22, 2025

    This dataset holds Level 1B (L1B) radiance data collected by the AVIRIS-Classic instrument near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, on August 14, 1996. This imagery was acquired for the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) project in the boreal forests of central Canada. BOREAS focused on improving the understanding of exchanges of radiative energy, sensible heat, water, CO2 and trace gases between the boreal forest and the lower atmosphere. NASA's AVIRIS-Classic is a pushbroom spectral mapping system with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), designed and toleranced for high performance spectroscopy. AVIRIS-Classic measures reflected radiance in 224 contiguous bands at approximately 10-nm intervals in the Visible to Shortwave Infrared (VSWIR) spectral range from 400-2500 nm. The AVIRIS-Classic sensor has a 1 milliradian instantaneous field of view, providing altitude dependent ground sampling distances from 20 m to sub meter range. For these data, AVIRIS-Classic was deployed on NASA's ER-2 high altitude aircraft. These spectra are acquired as images with 20-meter spatial resolution, 11 km swath width, and flight lines up to 800 km in length. The measurements are spectrally, radiometrically, and geometrically calibrated. There are seven flight lines subdivided into 66 scenes. The dataset includes the radiance imagery cube for each scene along with calibration and navigation information. The radiance data are in instrument coordinates, georeferenced by center of each scan line, and provided in a binary file. Metadata are included in a mixture of binary and text file formats.
