Full Range Field Spectrometer Suite

Overview

The hyperspectral spectroradiometers suite covers wavelenghts from the ultraviolet to visible to the near- and shortwave infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (350 nm to 2500 nm). This region of the EM spectrum, when used in spectroscopy, provides key information for multidisciplinary science, included but not limited to ecology (e.g. vegetation health), cryosphere studies (e.g. sea ice reflectance), geology (e.g. materials detection), and wider earth observation (e.g. ground based validation of satellites). This suite provides the ability to answer research questions in five of the eight NERC science themes. All of our instruments within this suite are supplied with an appropriate reflectance panel (which range in reflectances from 20% to 99.9%), to allow for direct measurements of surface reflectance.
