MASTER: Heat Island Airborne Study, Phoenix, Arizona, 2011

Description

This dataset includes Level 1B (L1B) data products from the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER) instrument. The spectral data were collected during five flights aboard a B-200 aircraft over Phoenix, Arizona, and Lake Mead, Nevada from 2011-07-11 to 2011-07-16 as part of a study on urban heat islands. This deployment was coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy's Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) located at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nevada. Data products include L1B georeferenced multispectral imagery of calibrated radiance in 50 bands covering wavelengths of 0.460 to 12.879 micrometers at approximately 5-meter spatial resolution. The L1B file format is HDF-4. In addition, the dataset includes the flight path, spectral band information, instrument configuration, ancillary notes, and summary information for each flight, and browse images derived from each L1B data file.
