The U.S. National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a continental-scale observation facility operated by Battelle and designed to collect long-term open access ecological data to better understand how U.S. ecosystems are changing. In addition to in situ data products, NEON provides repeat high-resolution airborne remote sensing data at 81 terrestrial and aquatic field sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico for ecological research and monitoring.
Height of the top of canopy above bare earth (Canopy Height Model; CHM). The CHM is derived from the NEON LiDAR point cloud and is generated by creating a continuous surface of canopy height estimates across the entire spatial domain of the LiDAR survey. The …
Digital models of the surface (DSM) and terrain (DTM) derived from NEON LiDAR data. DSM: Surface features (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures present). DTM: Bare earth elevation (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures removed). Images are given in meters above mean sea …
High resolution Red-Green-Blue (RGB) orthorectified camera images mosaicked and output onto a fixed, uniform spatial grid using nearest-neighbor resampling; spatial resolution is 0.1 m. The digital camera is part of a suite of instruments on the NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) that also includes a …
The NEON AOP Surface Bidirectional Reflectance is a hyperspectral VSWIR (visible to shortwave infrared) data product, containing 426 bands spanning wavelengths from ~380 nm to 2510 nm. Reflectance is scaled by a factor of 10000. Wavelengths between 1340-1445 nm and 1790-1955 nm are set to …
