SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
Averaged spectral reflectance for a conifer forest dominated by lodgepole pine located on the Central Plateau (east of Gibbon Hill and south of Gibbon River) of Yellowstone National Park. This forest of lodgepole pine was classified as growth stage LP by Despain (1990). LP forests are climax lodgepole pine forests, more than 300 years old, that are breaking up. The overstory has some whitebark pine occasionally present in addition to the lodgepole pine. Young lodgepole pines are always present in the understories with whitebark pine also possibly occurring. This average spectrum was computed from 148 pixels of radiative-transfer-ground-calibrated AVIRIS data. AVIRIS data were collected on August 6, 1996, at approximately 11:10 am Local Time. AVIRIS channels 1-4, 32-33, 43, 59-62, 81-84, 95-97, 106-113, 154-167, 173-175, and 222-224 were deleted due to residual atmospheric effects, poor instrument response, and redundancy where detectors overlap.
