Additional Datasets

AVIRIS / AVIRIS-NG

The Airborne Visible / Infrared Imaging Spectrometer is a remote sensing instrument that is mounted on an aircraft and used to collect spectral data of the Earth's surface. This data can be used to study the composition and characteristics of the Earth's surface, including vegetation, minerals, and water. AVIRIS uses a range of wavelengths in the visible and infrared spectrum to provide detailed information about the materials it measures. This information can be used in a variety of applications, such as mapping and monitoring the environment, studying the impacts of natural disasters, and managing natural resources.

It is a project by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and has been operating since 1986 across the globe. AVIRIS has two data portals to easily access datasets:

AVIRIS Data Portal (2006-2021): Contains imagery from the first AVIRIS sensor. This data portal also contains significantly more data since it comprises roughly 15 years of flights, however it is mostly localized to Canada & USA imagery.

AVIRIS-NG Data Portal (2014-2021): Contains imagery from the AVIRIS-NG sensor. AVIRIS-NG overflights include Europe, India, and the arctic.

EnMAP

The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program is a hyperspectral imagery mission by Germany which delivers imagery at a 30m GSD, with 230 bands from 420nm to 2450nm (VNIR & SWIR). It was launched in April 2022, and started routine operations in November 2022. EnMAP requires registration to access data.

NEON

The National Ecological Observatory Network is operated by the National Science Foundation, and is designed to collect ecological data across the United States. The NEON program collects many different types of data, including high resolution hyperspectral imagery of the VNIR and SWIR spectrums.
