2006 AISA hyperspectral imagery of the GCE domain for water

Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Applications (AISA) Eagle hyperspectral imagery were acquired on June 20-21, 2006, by the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies (CALMIT). This included six flight lines flown for the examination of water spectral properties for the Satilla River, Altamaha River, and Sapelo Sound. Imagery was acquired for 97 bands from 435-950 nm at a 1 m spatial resolution. The bandwidths were preselected by investigators with CALMIT to to capture the photoplankton red reflectance feature and carotenoid and chlorophyll driven absorption behaviors. These data were acquired for the following purposes: 1) calculate suites of remote sensing phytoplankton indices, (2) produce algorithms for predicting plant and phytoplankton chlorophyll and accessory pigments and productivity, 3) assess water quality, and (4) perform atmospheric corrections.
