MASTER: Student Airborne Research Program (SARP) campaign, California, USA, 2016

This dataset includes Level 1B (L1B) data products from the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER) instrument collected and developed by the Student Airborne Research Program (SARP). The spectral data were collected from flights flown on 2016-06-17 in a NASA ER-2 aircraft over Santa Barbara, California. SARP was an eight-week summer program for junior and senior undergraduate students to acquire hands-on research experience in all aspects of a scientific campaign using airborne science laboratories. The SARP 2016 deployment included one flight with 5 flight tracks. The L1B file format is HDF-4, and L2 products are provided in ENVI and KMZ formats. In addition, the dataset includes flight paths, spectral band information, instrument configuration, ancillary notes, and summary information for each flight, and browse images derived from each L1B data file.

本数据集收录了由学生航空研究计划（Student Airborne Research Program，简称SARP）收集和开发的MODIS/ASTER机载模拟器（MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator，简称MASTER）Level 1B（L1B）数据产品。该光谱数据是在2016年6月17日，利用NASA ER-2飞机在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉上空执行飞行任务时采集的。SARP是一项为期八周的暑期项目，旨在为本科生提供全面接触科学宣传活动各方面知识的研究实践经验，该项目通过机载科学实验室进行。2016年的SARP部署中，共进行了包含5条飞行轨迹的一次飞行。L1B数据文件采用HDF-4格式，L2产品以ENVI和KMZ格式提供。此外，数据集还包含了飞行路径、光谱波段信息、仪器配置、辅助备注以及每架次飞行的摘要信息，并附有从每个L1B数据文件中提取的浏览图像。
