MASTER: Costa Rica Airborne Research and Technology Applications, March, 2003

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 23, 2026 at 08:52 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 22, 2026
This dataset includes Level 1B (L1B) data products from the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER) instrument. The spectral data were collected during 14 flights aboard a NASA WB-57 aircraft over Texas, U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and Costa Rica on 2003-03-06 to 2003-03-29. The CARTA-2003 project was a collaborative effort between the Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnologia (CENAT) of Costa Rica and NASA. Data products include L1B georeferenced multispectral imagery of calibrated radiance in 50 bands covering wavelengths of 0.460 to 12.879 micrometers at approximately 30-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
