Delta-X: AVIRIS-NG L1B Spectral Radiance Products, MRD, Louisiana, 2021

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This dataset provides Level 1B (L1B) radiance products from NASA's Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer- Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) instrument acquired over the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins of the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana, USA during two deployments; spring and fall of 2021. All flights were flown on a Dynamic Aviation King Air B200. There are a combined 200 total flight lines for the spring and fall 2021 deployments; spring 2021 had 75 flight lines, fall 2021 had 175 flight lines. AVIRIS-NG measures reflected radiance at 5-nanometer (nm) intervals in the visible to shortwave infrared spectral range between 380 and 2510 nm. Level 1B data are orthorectified calibrated radiance values in units of spectral radiance in which raw digital numbers (DNs) are translated to units of radiant intensity measured at the sensor. Measurements are radiometrically and geometrically calibrated and provided at approximately 5-meter spatial resolution, dependent on aircraft altitude. Additional flight line files include band information of observational geometry and illumination parameters, as well as geographic pixel locations and elevation. These L1B data are provided in ENVI file format. AVIRIS-NG Cal/Val, Level 2 and Level 3 products for the Pre-Delta-X and Delta-X missions are provided in related datasets.
