CAR Safari BRDF Measurements L1 V2 (CAR_SAFARI_BRDF) at GES DISC

The Southern African Regional Science Initiative (SAFARI) 2000 is an international science field campaign aimed at developing a better understanding of the southern Africa earth-atmosphere-human system. The goal of SAFARI 2000 is to identify and understand the relationship between the physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes that underlie the biogeophysical and biogeochemical systems of southern Africa. Particular emphasis will be placed upon biogenic, pyrogenic, and anthropogenic emissions - their characterization and quantification, their transport and transformations in the atmosphere, their influence on regional climate and meteorology, their eventual deposition, and the effects of this deposition on ecosystems.

This data set consists of observations made with the CAR instrument and includes values for bidirectional reflectance factor at varying spectral bands.

南非区域科学倡议（SAFARI 2000）是一项国际科学野外考察活动，旨在深化对南非地球-大气-人类系统的深入理解。SAFARI 2000的目标在于识别并阐明南方非洲生物地球物理和生物地球化学系统中，物理、化学、生物及人为过程之间的相互关系。特别强调对生物源、热源和人为排放的研究——包括其特征和量化、在大气中的传输与转化、对区域气候和气象的影响、最终沉积过程，以及这种沉积对生态系统的影响。该数据集由使用CAR仪器进行的观测数据组成，包括不同光谱波段的双向反射率因子值。
