Hyperspectral Ground Calibration Data - Spectroradiometer, Australian Field Sites
Field spectroradiometer measurements have been collected at several locations across Australia (formally known as the AusCover Supersites) to relate field based measurements to satellite data products, such as Landsat and MODIS NBAR products. Collected in collaboration with multiple government and research-based institutions.

- Purpose
- The Hyperspectral ground-based data is used for calibration and validation of at-surface reflectance of airborne hyper-spectral image data. Once the at-surface reflectance values of the hyper-spectral image data have been validated, the data can be used for up-scaling to medium spatial resolution Landsat and MODIS data for cal/val of NBAR products.

Report
Result
- Statement
- The accuracy of the geographic location of the targets varies between sites, depending on how the coordinates were collected. Other site specific issues relating to data quality may exist.
Resource lineage
- Statement
- Data is typically collected from standardised calibration targets (white, grey and black) laid out in an open area within or nearby the site. Data is collected in a zig zag pattern of points over the target at approximately 1 m intervals. Natural features (roads, soils, grass, irradiance) are also collected opportunistically.
