Brief description

TERN worked together with Airborne Research Australia (ARA) to deliver airborne hyperspectral and lidar data for a number of selected homogenous 5 km x 5 km field sites across several locations in Australia (formally known as the AusCover Supersites). A Riegl Q560 Lidar, a SPECIM AisaEAGLE II hyperspectral scanner (VNIR) and a SPECIM AisaHAWK hyper-spectral scanner were mounted in underwing pods of ARA's ECO-Dimona research aircraft VH-EOS, each one together with its own navigation and altitude system. The spatial resolution of the Airborne hyperspectral data is 0.5m and Airborne LiDAR is 0.3m. Details on the data acquisition for each site is summarized here.

Notes

Credit
We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
This work was funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project.
Purpose
Between January 2011 and June 2013, TERN Landscapes collected field, airborne hyperspectral and airborne LiDAR data coincidently from several locations across Australia to be used for upscaling ground gathered observations, and to help calibrate satellite sensors passing overhead.
Data Quality Information

Data Quality Assessment Scope
local : dataset
The process used to test quality assurance of the airborne hyperspectral data and airborne lidar data are documented in Chapter 15 and 16 of the TERN Effective Field Calibration and Validation Practices handbook (see references).
