Bi-directional Reflectance: Soil Example

The wheat canopy data set contains spectral data and imagery collected in 1999. The site is an AMERIFLUX tower site at the Department of Energy ARM-CART region in north central Oklahoma (36.77 N; 97.13 W) near Ponca City, Oklahoma. The 20km x 20km area surrounding the cultivated wheat site is approximately 75% in wheat.

The grass canopy data set contains spectral data and imagery collected in 1999. The site is an AMERIFLUX tower site at the Department of Energy ARM-CART region in na native tall grass prairie site (36.93 N; 96.68 W) near Shidler, Oklahoma. The 20km x 20km area surrounding the cultivated wheat site is approximately 85% in tall grass prairie.
