Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: May 26, 2026 at 05:58 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 18, 2026
This dataset includes Level 1B (L1B) data products from the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER) instrument. The spectral data were collected during four flights aboard a DOE B200 aircraft over California, U.S., from 2008-08-20 to 2008-08-27. Objectives included mapping for California Fire-Burn Area Emergency Response (BAER). This deployment was coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy's Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) located at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nevada. Data products include L1B georeferenced multispectral imagery of calibrated radiance in 50 bands covering wavelengths of 0.460 to 12.879 micrometers at approximately 10-meter spatial resolution. The L1B file format is HDF-4. In addition, the dataset includes flight paths, spectral band information, instrument configuration, ancillary notes, and summary information for each flight, and browse images derived from each L1B data file.
