ABoVE: AVIRIS-NG Imaging Spectroscopy for Alaska, Canada, and Iceland, 2017-2022, V3

It also includes previously unpublished L1 radiance and L2 reflectance for the 2021 surveys in Iceland when COVID-era policies prevented normal ABoVE flights, and the 2022 surveys, which returned to the ABoVE domain. The dataset comprises ~1700 individual flight lines covering ~120,000 km2 with a nominal spatial resolution of 5 m.

Sampling includes individual transects to capture key gradients like the tundra-taiga ecotone and raster maps of key study areas like the CHARS Greiner watershed, the Mackenzie Delta, and the Utqiagvik/Point Barrow area. AVIRIS-NG measures reflected radiance in 425 bands at 5-nanometer (nm) intervals in the visible to shortwave infrared spectral range between 380 and 2510 nm. Measurements were radiometrically and geometrically calibrated.
