Chesapeake Bay Helicopter

Data will be provided for above water radiance measurements in the hyperspectral and multi-spectral polarization modes using a system containing a hyperspectral imager (Cubert, Germany) and multi-spectral polarimetric imaging camera (Teledyne Dalsa) with additional color filters. For this experiment data will be provided for the system installed on the helicopter at 10 stations in Aug 2022 over Chesapeake Bay at 4 heights from 60 to 750 m. Complimentary data from handheld GER spectroradiometer and ac-s flowthrough measurements near same stations with 1-2 hours delay from the boat will be also provided. Similar data were submitted to SeaBASS as a part of the VIIRS validation experiment and can be found under the DOI: 10.5067/SeaBASS/VIIRS_VALIDATION/DATA001.
