Post survey report for AOP Assignable Asset collection of Crested Butte, CO

This report contains details of the National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) assignable asset (AA) flight over Crested Butte, Colorado (CO). The report is being prepared for Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), the primary clients for the flights who contracted the NEON AOP for flights during June 2018. The report includes a summary of the acquired flight lines over the planned area, results of calibration surveys, and quality assurance (QA) results of the acquired data. Detailed reports on the acquired data and processing results were also delivered with the data. LBNL contracted the AA NEON AOP flights to observe watersheds of interest at Crested Butte with remotely sensed data including high resolution LiDAR, imaging spectroscopy, and high-resolution camera imagery. The remote sensing imagery acquired by the AOP intendeds to support LBNL on an interdisciplinary project on hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem functioning in the area surrounding the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), one of the most prominent ecological study sites in the United States.

本报告详述了美国国家生态观测网络机载观测平台（National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform，NEON AOP）可分配资产（assignable asset，AA）在科罗拉多州（CO）克莱斯特德巴特上空的飞行任务详情。本报告专为劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室（Lawrence Berkeley National Lab，LBNL）编制，该机构为本次飞行任务的主要委托方，于2018年6月租用NEON AOP执行飞行作业。报告涵盖规划区域内已获取飞行航线的汇总情况、校准勘测结果，以及所获数据的质量保证（quality assurance，QA）结果。随数据一同交付的还有关于所获数据及处理结果的详细报告。LBNL委托本次NEON AOP可分配资产飞行任务，旨在通过遥感手段获取克莱斯特德巴特地区的目标流域数据，所用遥感数据源包括高分辨率激光雷达（LiDAR）、成像光谱数据以及高分辨率相机影像。本次AOP获取的遥感影像将用于支持LBNL开展一项跨学科研究项目，该项目聚焦落基山生物实验室（Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory，RMBL）周边区域的水文学、生物地球化学与生态系统功能；落基山生物实验室是美国境内极具影响力的生态研究站点之一。
