[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set contains measurements of surface BRDF made by the POLDER instrument over several surface types (pine, spruce, fen) of the BOREAS SSA during the 1994 IFCs. Single-point BRDF values were acquired either from the NASA ARC C-130 aircraft or from a NASA WFF helicopter. A related data set collected from the helicopter platform is available as is POLDER imagery acquired from the C-130.
