To receive the scene send:

  1. A letter on University letterhead
  2. The AVIRIS flight, run and scene
  3. A one paragraph description of proposed research
  4. Signature of the graduate advisor and student on the letter with email address to:
Please discuss the use of the AVIRIS measured upwelling spectral radiance for quantitative research based on the molecular absorptions and constituent scattering signatures found in the terrestrial environment. Please emphasize algorithms and approaches that take advantage of the spectral nature of AVIRIS data.
