For BOREAS, the NS001 TMS imagery, along with the other remotely sensed images, was collected in order to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter maps such as fPAR and LAI. Data collections occurred over the study areas during the 1994 field campaigns.Companion files include (1) an image inventory listing to inform users of the images that are available and (2) example thumbnail images.

For BOREAS, the NS001 TMS images, along with the other remotely sensed data, were collected to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter maps such as fPAR and LAI. Collection of the NS001 images occurred over the study areas during the 1994 field campaigns. The Level-2 NS001 data are atmospherically corrected versions of some of the best original NS001 imagery and cover the dates of 19-Apr-1994, 07-Jun-1994, 21-Jul-1994, 08-Aug-1994, and 16-Sep-1994. The data are not geographically/geometrically corrected; however, files of relative X and Y coordinates for each image pixel were derived by using the C130 INS data in an NS001 scan model. The data are provided in binary image format files. Note also that the top portion of the ASCII header file in each Level-2 NS001 image product indicates that the band 8 data are 'Scaled Reflectance' when in fact they are 'Scaled Temperatures.'

For BOREAS, the level-3b Landsat TM data, along with the other remotely sensed images, were collected in order to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes radiant energy, detailed land cover, and biophysical parameter maps such as FPAR and LAI. Although very similar in content to the level-3a Landsat TM products, the level-3b images were created to provide users with a directly usable at-sensor radiance image. Geographically, the level-3b images cover the BOREAS NSA and SSA. Temporally, the images cover the period of 22-Jun-1984 to 30-Jul-1996. Companion files include (1) an image inventory listing to inform users of the images that are available and (2) example thumbnail images that may be viewed using a convenient viewer utility.

For BOREAS, the level-3a Landsat TM data, along with the other remotely sensed images, were collected in order to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes radiant energy, detailed land cover, and biophysical parameter maps such as FPAR and LAI. Although very similar in content to the level-3s Landsat TM products, the level-3a images were created to provide users with a more usable BSQ format and to provide information that permitted direct determination of per-pixel latitude and longitude coordinates. Geographically, the level-3a images cover the BOREAS NSA and SSA. Temporally, the images cover the period of 22-Jun-1984 to 30-Jul-1996. The images are available in binary, image-format files. Companion files include (1) an image inventory listing to inform users of the images that are available and (2) example thumbnail images that may be viewed and the image data files downloaded using a convenient viewer utility.

For BOREAS, the level-3s Landsat TM data, along with the other remotely sensed images, were collected in order to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes radiant energy, detailed land cover, and biophysical parameter maps such as FPAR and LAI. CCRS collected and supplied the level-3s images to BOREAS for use in the remote sensing research activities. Geographically, the bulk of the level-3s images cover the BOREAS NSA and SSA with a few images covering the area between the NSA and SSA. Temporally, the images cover the period of 22-Jun-1984 to 30-Jul-1996. Companion files include (1) an image inventory listing to inform users of the images that are available and (2) example thumbnail images that may be viewed using a convenient viewer utility.

For BOREAS, the level-3p Landsat TM data were used to supplement the level-3s Landsat TM products. Along with the other remotely sensed images, the Landsat TM images were collected in order to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes radiant energy, detailed land cover, and biophysical parameter maps such as FPAR and LAI. Geographically, the level-3p images cover the BOREAS NSA and SSA. Temporally, the four images cover the period of 20-Aug-1988 to 07-Jun-1994. Except for the 07-Jun-1994 image which contains 7 bands, the other three only contain 3 bands.

For BOREAS, the level-3p Landsat TM data were used to supplement the level-3s Landsat TM products. Along with the other remotely sensed images, the Landsat TM images were collected in order to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes radiant energy, detailed land cover, and biophysical parameter maps such as FPAR and LAI. Although very similar to the level-3s Landsat TM products, the level-3p images were processed with ground control information which improved the accuracy of the geographic coordinates provided. Geographically, the level-3p images cover the BOREAS NSA and SSA. Temporally, the four images cover the period of 20-Aug-1988 to 07-Jun-1994. Except for the 07-Jun-1994 image which contains 7 bands, the other three only contain 3 bands. Companion files include (1)an image inventory listing to inform users of the images that are available and (2) example thumbnail images that may be viewed using a convenient viewer utility.

The TIMS imagery, along with the other remotely sensed images, was collected to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes detailed land cover, biophysical parameter maps such as fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (fPAR), leaf area index (LAI), and surface thermal properties.

The BOREAS RSS-07 team used Landsat TM images processed at CCRS to produce images of LAI for the BOREAS study areas. Two images acquired on June 6 and August 9, 1991 were used for the SSA, and one image acquired on June 9, 1994 was used for the NSA. The LAI images are based on ground measurements and Landsat TM RSR images. The data are stored in binary image-format files. Companion files include example thumbnail images that may be viewed and the image data files downloaded using a convenient viewer utility.

The level-0 Daedalus TMS imagery, along with the other remotely sensed images, was collected to provide spatially extensive information about radiant energy over the primary BOREAS study areas. This information includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter maps such as fPAR and LAI.
