COral Reef Airborne Laboratory (CORAL) Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) Benthic Cover Data, version 1.0

Flight line benthic cover measurements from the Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) instrument aboard the Tempus Applied Solutions Gulfstream-IV (G-IV) aircraft, taken as part of the NASA COral Reef Airborne Laboratory (CORAL) Earth Venture Suborbital-2 (EVS-2) mission designed to provide an extensive, uniform picture of coral reef composition. The CORAL mission surveyed parts of the reefs surrounding the Mariana Islands, Palau, portions of the Great Barrier Reef, the main Hawaiian Islands, and the Florida Keys.

本数据集为搭载于坦普斯应用解决方案（Tempus Applied Solutions）湾流IV型（Gulfstream-IV，简称G-IV）飞机的便携式远程成像光谱仪（Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer，PRISM）所采集的航线飞行底栖覆盖度测量数据，隶属于美国国家航空航天局（NASA）珊瑚礁机载实验室（CORAL）地球探索亚轨道-2（Earth Venture Suborbital-2，EVS-2）任务。该任务旨在全面且统一地刻画珊瑚礁的组成特征。CORAL任务的勘测范围涵盖马里亚纳群岛、帕劳周边部分珊瑚礁区，大堡礁部分区域、夏威夷主群岛以及佛罗里达礁岛群的礁区。
