Description
This data provides AVIRIS-NG Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and sunglint-corrected surface spectral reflectance images over the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins of the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) of coastal Louisiana, USA. Flights were acquired during the Spring and Fall 2021 deployments of the Delta-X campaign. The imagery was acquired by the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) from 2021-03-27 to 2021-04-06 and 2021-08-18 to 2021-09-25. Reflectance data are provided as file sets for each flight line. In addition, ten files of mosaicked flight lines, by time period and over four locations (labeled Terre, Atcha, TerreEast, and Bara), are included. Files are presented as compressed (*.zip) files, containing binary ENVI image and header files. Only land pixels were corrected and mask files for the mosaic file coverage showing presence/absence of water are also included. For the Delta-X mission, these data serve to better understand rates of soil erosion, accretion, and creation in the delta system, with the goal of building better models of how river deltas will behave under relative sea level rise.
