Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS): Sensor improvements for 1994 and 1995

AVIRIS is a NASA-sponsored Earth-remote-sensing imaging spectrometer designed, built and operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). While AVIRIS has been operational since 1989, major improvements have been completed in most of the sensor subsystems during the winter maintenance cycles. As a consequence of these efforts, the capabilities of AVIRIS to reliably acquire and deliver consistently high quality, calibrated imaging spectrometer data continue to improve annually, significantly over those in 1989. Improvements to AVIRIS prior to 1994 have been described previously. This paper details recent and planned improvements to AVIRIS in the sensor task.

Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS): Sensor Improvements for 1994 and 1995

AVIRIS is a NASA-sponsored Earth-remote-sensing imaging spectrometer designed, built, and operated by JPL. In the time that AVIRIS has been operational since 1989, major improvements have been completed in most of the subsystems of the sensor during the winter maintenance cycles. As a consequence of these efforts, the capabilities of AVIRIS to reliably acquire and deliver consistently high quality, calibrated imaging spectrometer data continue to improve annually, significantly over those in 1989. Improvements to AVIRIS prior to 1994 have been described elsewhere. This paper details recent and planned improvements to AVIRIS in the sensor task.

Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS): Recent Improvements to the Sensor and Data Facility

AVIRIS operations at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory consist primarily of a sensor task and a data facility task. The sensor task is responsible for AVIRIS sensor meaintenance, laboratory calibration, and field operations. The AVIRIS data facility is responsible for data archiving, data calibration, quality monitoring and distribution. In this paper we describe recent improvements in these two primary AVIRIS tasks.

Calibration Of Airborne Visible/IR Imaging Spectrometer

Paper describes laboratory spectral and radiometric calibration of Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) applied to all AVIRIS science data collected in 1987. Describes instrumentation and procedures used and demonstrates that calibration accuracy achieved exceeds design requirements. Developed for use in remote-sensing studies in such disciplines as botany, geology, hydrology, and oceanography.
