Soffer, Raymond; Arroyo-Mora, J. Pablo; Kalacska, Margaret; Ifimov, Gabriela; Leblanc, George 2022-07-07 The data available consist of airborne hyperspectral imagery acquired for the <i>Mer Bleue Arctic Surrogate Simulation Site (MBASSS) S2/L8 Data Product Validation Project</i> in 2016. MBASSS was a collaborative effort aimed at developing a systematic approach for ongoing assessment and validation of satellite based land information products from Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel 2 satellites. The airborne systems used for this project were the CASI-1500 and SASI-644 hyperspectral instruments (ITRES Research, Calgary AB) installed in the National Research Council Canada Flight Research Lab (NRC-FRL) Twin Otter aircraft. Standard level 2 processed imagery is provided for download as rasters in ENVI Standard format. Imagery is available from April 20, May 11, May 24 and June 23, 2016 as a set of 12 individual flight lines per date. The imagery has been atmospherically corrected and during the geocorrection process, it has been resampled to 1 m pixel size. Currently CASI and SASI imagery are provided separately. Metadata for each flight line is provided in external ascii ENVI header files (*.hdr) and *.met files. The geocorrected imagery provided with pixel level information including pixel view zenith angle (off Nadir angle), DEM, view azimuth angle, radiance path distance, column and row numbers of pixels in non-geocorrected image file, and relative pixel offset between calculated and assigned pixel location. This information is provided in associated *.nad and *.nad.hdr files.

Map search instructions

1.Turn on the map filter by clicking the “Limit by map area” toggle.
2.Move the map to display your area of interest. Holding the shift key and clicking to draw a box allows for zooming in on a specific area. Search results change as the map moves.
3.Access a record by clicking on an item in the search results or by clicking on a location pin and the linked record title.
Note: Clusters are intended to provide a visual preview of data location. Because there is a maximum of 50 records displayed on the map, they may not be a completely accurate reflection of the total number of search results.
